there is more pressure in deeper ocean zones.
there is less oxygen in deeper ocean zones.

The correct answer is first statement.

Explanation:

The lanternfish refers to a fish that thrives in deep-water and has got its name due to the tendency to generate light. The light is produced by the small organs called photophores. Within the photophore, a chemical reaction occurs that produces light and the whole process is termed as bioluminescence. Due to less light in deeper water zones, these fishes are found there as they possess the tendency to generate their own light. These fishes are basically found in the disphotic or in the twilight zone.
