bathypelagic

Bathypelagic fish are black, or sometimes red, with few photophores.

They are found from the intertidal to the bathypelagic zone.

It is the deeper part of the midnight zone which starts in the bathypelagic waters above.

Still deeper down the water column, below 1000 metres, are found the bathypelagic fishes.

Bathypelagic fishes are not normally found below 3,000 metres.

Some species in this genus, particularly L. agassizii, may be bathypelagic.

Like other oneirodids, they are small, bathypelagic fish with bioluminescent lures.

Because food is so scarce, bathypelagic predators are not selective in their feeding habits, but grab whatever come close enough.

Stomach analysis has also shown that the diet consists mostly of pelagic or bathypelagic organisms.

As they mature the young begin their gradual descent to the mesopelagic and eventually bathypelagic zones.

In this way they are closer to mesopelagic fishes than bathypelagic fishes.

The largest krill species is the bathypelagic Thysanopoda spinicauda.

Like other oneirodids, T. pugnax is a bathypelagic fish with a bioluminescent lure.

This species lives in the bathypelagic zone, is oceanodromous, and is found at depths up to 1000 metres.

The Searsia koefoedi can be found in a marine environment within a bathypelagic depth range of 450 - 1500 meters.

Argentiniformes are smallish silvery or dark and generally bathypelagic ocean fishes.

It is an oceanic bathypelagic species.

It inhabits the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones down to 4,000 m and is never caught in large numbers.

The bathypelagic and abyssopelagic zones are aphotic, meaning that no light penetrates this area of the ocean.

The problem is addressed by extending the pelagic zone down below the light to the bathypelagic and abyssopelagic zones.

This shape is found in other so-called nocturnal eyes, such as the eyes of prosimians and bathypelagic fishes.

Bentheuphausia amblyops, a bathypelagic species, has a cosmopolitan distribution within its deep-sea habitat.

Barreleyes inhabit moderate depths, from the mesopelagic to bathypelagic zone, ca. 400-2,500 metres down.

The oceanic zone is subdivided into the epipelagic, mesopelagic, and bathypelagic zones.

This is the midnight or bathypelagic zone, extending from 1000 metres to the bottom deep water benthic zone.
