| It is on the continental shelves where shelf, epeiric, neritic, or epicontinental sediments are deposited. |
|
| Turtles leave their natal beaches as hatchlings, transitioning through the neritic zone to the oceanic zone. |
|
| These observations point to a complex succession of events all controlling the different carbonate producers, both neritic and pelagic. |
|
| The neritic zone is the first 200 meters of ocean water, which includes the seashore and most of the continental shelf. |
|
| The occurrence higher in the succession of nummulites and neritic fossils indicates overall shallowing upwards. |
|
| The assemblage is characterized by the co-occurrence of epipelagic, mesopelagic and benthopelagic taxa together with neritic taxa. |
|
| Their depositional environment varies from outer neritic to upper or middle bathyal. |
|
| After a short erosion interval, rapid subsidence started to produce contemporaneous neritic limestone and shallow bathyal marl again. |
|
| However, this ichthyofauna is characterized mostly by the co-occurrence of oceanic and neritic fish. |
|
| Permian shelf-type successions there pass into Triassic sandstones and shales with detached Permian limestone blocks, overlain by Upper Triassic neritic carbonates. |
|
| In contrast, the diet of neritic predators such as the bonnethead shark from southwest Florida is dominated by crustaceans, principally shallow water blue crabs. |
|
| Similarities and distinctions between the energy strategies and adaptations in neritic, far-oceanic and euoceanic shark species were revealed. |
|
| The neritic populations were distinguished by the lower index of vertebra water content and relatively shorter fins. |
|
| The diet of the lemon shark, Negaprion brevirostris, collected from the Bahamas, is dominated by inner neritic fish, like sparids, lutjanids and gerreids. |
|
| This zone is permanently covered with seawater and is approximately equivalent to the neritic zone. |
|
| They feed almost exclusively on neritic and oceanic squid, mostly nocturnally. |
|
| The high nutrient levels of the neritic province resulting from dissolved materials in riverine runoff distinguish this province from the oceanic. |
|
| Within the pelagic environment the waters are divided into the neritic province, which includes the water above the continental shelf, and the oceanic province, which includes all the open waters beyond the continental shelf. |
|
| The bigeye thresher shark is one of three sharks in the family Alopiidae, which occupy pelagic, neritic, and shallow coastal waters throughout the tropics and subtropics. |
|
| The neritic zone encompasses the water mass directly above the continental shelves whereas the oceanic zone includes all the completely open water. |
|
|
|
| In the Gulf of Alaska, juvenile walleye pollock are one of the most abundant neritic forage fishes and are consumed by seabirds, fishes, and marine mammals. |
