Littoral Zone


This is a picture of some fish from a pet store. The fish represent the littoral zone, because they come to the shallow water to feed on algae and aquatic plants. The littoral zone is the water nearest shore, where the sunlight shines all the way through to the sediment at the bottom. This allows aquatic plants to grow and animals such as the crab to live in both a water and land environment.
