It goes on the edge of the continental shelf to the other continental shelf. only a small
part of the ocean receives sunlight and the water has fewer nutrients. It is divided into
three difference zone. Surface zone which receives light, transition zone end surface zone
to 1km, and deep zone is below 1km. Water is darker and colder that the transition zone
so is finding food. Must be good hunters to survive. Gaping mouths with fang-like teeth
and also need rows of sharp teeth sticking out at angles. Bioluminescence is the
production of light by living things through. Bacteria that live in the fishs body, a
chemical reaction produced by fish, and lighting producing organs. Hydrothermal Vent
