Does anyone know the food chain for the mesopelagic zone in the ocean?

Question

Hi, I need to know the food chain for the mesopelagic zone. If anyone knows any imformation on ocean food chains, or the mesopelagic zone, please let me know.

Answer 1

The mesopelagic zone is sometimes called the "twilight zone" of the ocean. This area is bordered by the photic zone above, and the darkness below. It's in this zone where you start to see bioluminescence on all sorts of animals. From this point on down, food becomes something of a scarcity and some animals migrate up to the surface at night to feed. The rest rely on food that falls down from above, as well as eating each other. Because sometimes the only things to eat may be bigger than the hunter, many animals have developed long sharp teeth, and expandable jaws and stomachs.
