The Benthic Division: It consists of three major zones, the littoral, the sub-
littoral and the deep-sea zone. The uppermost part of the benthic division is
the littoral zone. The littoral zone is the shoreline between land and open
sea. It is subject to the physical violence of waves and tides and to
fluctuations, sometimes extreme, of temperature, moisture, and light
intensity.
The Pelagic Division: The pelagic division comprises all the waters of the
ocean covering the benthic division. It is divided into a ‘neritic zone’ and an
open sea.
