Answer:

Euphotic Zone or Sunlight zone

Step-by-step explanation:

The Euphotic Zone comprises the region in which the light incidence can penetrate the water column, generally comprising about 200 meters deep, according to turbidity (tint of water as a result of saturation of suspended particles). It corresponds to the range with considerable concentration of organisms, including photosynthetic microorganisms (autotrophic).
