• The limnetic zone is the open - water area away from the shore but still in the sunlit, well - lit part (deeper than littoral but not the deepest).
• The profundal zone is the deep, dark area below the limnetic zone (deepest).

1. Based on these definitions, the order from shallowest to deepest is littoral, limnetic, profundal.
