The mesopelagic zone is sometimes called the ocean’s twilight zone due to its dim lighting conditions.

The mesopelagic zone is estimated to contain enormous biomass relative to its visibility. Giants like the megamouth reveal how much of Earth’s living mass exists in layers humans rarely witness directly.
