What is another word for Bathyal District?
Pronunciation: [bˈaθɪə͡l dˈɪstɹɪkt] (IPA) 
The Bathyal district of the ocean is located at a depth of about 1,000 to 4,000 meters. It is where sunlight doesn't reach, and the water pressure is intense. For this reason, scientists have come up with various synonyms to refer to this district, including the Bathypelagic zone, Abyssopelagic zone, or the Midnight zone. The Bathyal zone is not a habitat for marine animals that require sunlight to survive, but it still hosts a range of unique species such as the anglerfish, giant squid, and the viperfish. The diverse flora and fauna of the Bathyal district fascinate scientists and offer vast opportunities for research and discovery.
