“…Baldwin et al (2018) describe three reef faunal zones based loosely on depth and light penetration: altiphotic (high light, surface to 30-40 m depth), mesophotic (intermediate light, 30-150 m depth), and, coining a new term, "rariphotic" (low light, 150-300 m depth in clear tropical waters), and the aphotic zone, with no surface light, lies beneath 300 m. The mesophotic has also been divided into poorly defined upper (30-40 to 70 m depth) and lower (70-150 m) zones whose depth limits differ by location (Baker et al, 2016). In addition to light, the zones may be distinguished based on temperature (Colin, 2018) and faunal composition (Baldwin et al, 2018;Stefanoudis et al, 2019).…”
