Darkening oceans could cause massive problems for marine life, and over 21% of the ocean has grown darker in the last 20 ...

Ocean darkening is rapidly spreading, squeezing marine life closer to the surface and altering ecosystems worldwide.

New research led by the University found 21% of the global ocean had experienced a reduction in the depth of its ...

Only 5% of the ocean has been explored. The depths of the ocean are broken into zones. The euphotic zone, or "sunlight zone," extends down to about 656 feet and is where sunlight can penetrate ...

The epipelagic, also known as the sunlight zone, is the very top layer of the ocean where visible light can still be found. Extending down to 200 metres (656 ft) below the surface, the epipelagic ...

These include the sunlight zone (epipelagic), the twilight zone (mesopelagic), the midnight zone (bathypelagic), the abyssal zone (abyssopelagic), and the hadal zone (trenches) ...

At night, like many other animals that live in the twilight zone, it migrates to more shallow waters in search of food. Each night it reaches the upper layer of the ocean, or sunlight zone where ...

How will global warming impact marine ecosystems? This is a critical question when addressing future climate change. Sustained climate change may have a particularly large negative effect on one ...

The sighting is rare as the fish typically stays in the depths of the ocean below the sunlight zone. It’s perhaps the first time the fish has been spotted and reported at this depth.
