The four major zones are intertidal zone, neritic zone, open ocean zone and benthic zone.These zones contain the largest ecosystem on Earth.nimals found in this zone include the giant squid, deep sea hatchetfish and bioluminescent jellyfish. Benthic zone. The benthic zone includes the entire seafloor. About 200,000 species of plants and animals live here.
