The littoral zone is the part of a sea, lake or river that is close to the shore. In coastal environments the littoral zone extends from the high water mark, which is rarely inundated, to shoreline areas that are permanently submerged. It always includes this intertidal zone and is often used to mean the same as the intertidal zone. However, the meaning of "littoral zone" can extend well beyond the intertidal zone and that is you answer

Answer:

The littoral zone is the part of the lake that is close to the shore. It exhibit very low biological activity, but contains higher oxygen content. The water in the littoral zone of lake is freshwater being unaffected by the living organisms like plants and fishes.
