There are different zones that lies within a Pelagic Zone. They are

Oceanic, Neritic, Photic, Aphotic. The zone that lies beyond the continental shelf comes under this oceanic zone and Photic and Aphotic as the name suggests it refers to light. It referes to the zones where sunlight can penetrate and can not penetrate respectively.
