Relating to organisms or conditions found in different pelagic zones (open ocean regions at different depths or distances from shore).
Formed from Greek 'allo-' (other, different) plus 'pelagic' (relating to the open ocean), creating a term for marine organisms or features separated across distinct oceanic regions.
The ocean is divided into invisible neighborhoods—allopelagic creatures live in different oceanic zones, and a jellyfish from the twilight zone has about as much in common with a surface dweller as a cave fish has with a shark.
