Extract

The pelagic environment can be divided into five gross regions. These are the intertidal and estuarine, the neritic and the oceanic epipelagic, mesopelagic and bathypelagic regions. Each of these regions has an endemic crustacean fauna but many species inhabit more than one region. The ranges and rates of fluctuations of environmental characteristics vary from the extremes encountered in the intertidal and estuarine region to the relative constancy of those in the bathypelagic region.
