The Oceanic Zone
The Oceanic zone is the volume of water that cover all of the entire sea floor except for the continental shelf. The deeper the water gets in the oceanic zone, the more the temperature drops and the water gets colder. As it gets deeper, the pressure is much greater than that in the neritic zone. The organisms are more spread out the deeper, darker, and bigger the ocean gets. Organisms in the Oceanic such as anglerfish, giant squids, and whale species lurk in the deeper and darker parts.
Zones of The Pelagic Environment
The Pelagic environment is the entire volume of water in the ocean and marine organisms that live above the ocean floor divided into two zones.

What is the Neritic Zone?
- Neritic Zone
- Oceanic Zone
The neritic zone is the volume of water that covers all of the continental shelf. This zone has the most marine life because of its warm, shallow waters. Most organisms in the neritic zone are benthos. Fish, plankton and other marine animals live in the neritic zone.
