Those phytoplankton are eaten by tiny animals called zooplankton, which in turn are eaten by jellies, fish, and other animals—some of which carry that carbon into the twilight zone as part of their daily migration.

2023年9月29日 · Animals in the twilight zone help support the ocean’s food web and transport huge amounts of carbon from surface waters into the deep ocean, helping to regulate global climate.

What Animals Live in the Twilight Zone? The twilight zone, also known as the mesopelagic zone, is a mysterious and relatively unexplored region of the ocean. This zone lies between 200 and 1,000 meters below the surface, where sunlight barely penetrates.

2024年2月13日 · To a human inside a submersible, this realm appears pitch-black, but animals there have evolved all sorts of tricks to navigate the lack of light while at the same time avoiding predators in the...

The Twilight Zone, located between 200 meters and 1,000 meters below the ocean’s surface, is a mysterious region where sunlight fades and creatures adapt to survive in near darkness. This zone is home to some of the most bizarre and fascinating animals on Earth, yet it remains one of the least understood environments.

Scientists think that the largest animal migration on Earth may take place in the Twilight Zone, every day! At dusk, phenomenal numbers of creatures – fish, squid, shrimps – rise nearer to the surface to feed, using the dark of night to avoid predators.

2019年8月29日 · The ocean twilight zone is home to innumerable mysterious creatures. Most of them are very small. Some glow in the dark. Others are just plain bizarre. They all play an important role in maintaining the health of this complex ecosystem. An ecosystem we are only beginning to understand.
