Inoceramids tended to live in upper bathyal and neritic environments.. They feed almost exclusively on neritic and oceanic squid, mostly nocturnally. They settle in oceanic and neritic zone of the ocean. Spionids are cosmopolitan and live in soft substrates in the littoral or neritic zones. Dinophysis norvegica is a marine plankton dinoflagellate that is found in neritic waters[1]. They mostly inhabit the neritic zone. This is followed by neritic limestones precipitated in calm conditions. This zone is permanently covered with seawater and is approximately equivalent to the neritic zone. Species with neritic distributions include the four species of the genus "Nyctiphanes". Ommastrephids usually occur in pelagic waters, but can also be found in neritic habitats. "S. apama" is a neritic demersal species. It is very common round the coasts of the British Isles in the neritic zone. "Atergatis floridus" is an inhabitant of the neritic zone and prefers coral and rubble. The pelagic cormorant inhabits the shores and the neritic zone of the North Pacific. The neritic zone has many organisms that need light to flourish.
