When we say that it "includes 65% of the ocean's completely open water," do we mean 65% by volume or by surface area? Also, what is the source of that number? Thanks. Zatrp ( talk) 10:41, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
Earlier today I proposed this article for deletion, but then withdrew the nomination after digging a brief discussion, here:
Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Oceanic_zone. I doubt now this page needs deleting, rather it needs some attention from someone with experience of the subject.

Those of us without common sense have no idea why the Pelagic and Oceanic Zones are supposed to be different, when Wikipedia itself defines the Pelagic Zone as being deep, off shore waters (to my understanding). The picture doesn't really help any. 98.71.136.237 ( talk) 02:38, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
I've converted the references to inline ref format based on the original 2009 edit of the page. Deleted the "(col)" from the end of the intro as could find no ref to match with it. And yes, some of these may be dead links, but it is better than nothing. Vsmith ( talk) 00:26, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

I tried to move content from ocean to here on the topic of oceanic zones. But then I realised that there is confusion here between oceanic zone (singular) and oceanic zones (plural). I recently created a redirect from "oceanic zones" to here but I am wondering now if that is justified? Compare with how oceanic zones is explained here: /info/en/?search=Ocean#Oceanic_zones . I.e. zones plural seems to refer to a vertical splitting, versus oceanic zone singular seems to be more a horizontal definition (i.e. distance from land). EMsmile ( talk) 00:44, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
