Here's another question: if there is no light in the benthic region of the 
ocean, why would some of the organisms be bioluminecent?  What advantage 
does that serve?  And what do organisms living within this region feed 
on?  Falling detritus?  And what is the deepest living organism that has 
been found? (by deepest, I mean deepest in water)
