Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The littoral zone is the shallow shoreline region of a lake that receives enough light for photosynthesis to occur. The limnetic zone is the open water region of a lake beyond the littoral zone, while the profundal zone is the deep, dark region of a lake where light does not penetrate. The pelagic zone includes both the limnetic and profundal zones. The benthic zone is the bottom region of a lake or other body of water.
