No, the sunlight does not act as a limiting factor the same way it does in the ocean because the lake has a lower depth as compared to the ocean which is very deep.

  • Sunlight entering the water can penetrate about 1,000 meters into the ocean under the right conditions, but significant light rarely exceeds 200 meters.
  • The sea he divides into three zones based on depth and light intensity. The upper 200 meters of the ocean is called the light receiving or "solar" zone.

Sunlight plays a very important role in sustaining marine life. It first enters the water column, heats it, generates an electric current, and is finally absorbed by the phytoplankton. Phytoplankton use this energy source, captured by pigments such as chlorophyll, to synthesize organic matter from the water and inorganic nutrients.
