Productivity of profundal zone will be low Why? 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The deeper region of a pond below the limnetic zone is called profundal zone with no effective light penetration and predominance of heterotrophs. Hence producers are not found here.
(ii) The primary productivity through photosynthesis of littoral and limnetic zone of the pond is more due to greater penetration of light than the profundal zone.
