Los océanos: zona fótica

The video explores the epipelagic zone of the ocean, highlighting the abundance of life forms beneath the surface. It explains how microscopic organisms like plankton and algae perform photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain. Various predators, including fish and birds, are attracted to this zone. The video also discusses the role of seamounts as relatively safe areas for young fish to grow and mate, despite the presence of predators. Finally, it hints at the vastly different world that exists a few hundred meters below the epipelagic zone.
