👉 The term "epipelagic" refers to a group of marine organisms that live in bodies of water that are not typically considered part of the ocean floor. These organisms primarily inhabit the bottom of the sea, including the oceanic trenches and open oceanic areas, where they can be found in depths ranging from 50 meters to over 100 kilometers. Epipelagic organisms are characterized by their presence at a depth below the water table, which is typically around 200 meters
