I don't know in detail but I hope this helps.
Light - plants thats need light will be closer to the surface as they need sun for photosynthesis.
Depth - the oxygen concentration will change with diffferent depths. There will be more oxygen nearer the surface, so probably more animals. More aerobic organisms. Anaerobic organisms will be at the bottom where there is less oxygen.
Temperature - may be warmer at the surface because the sun. So if an organism is cold blooded and needs heat from the sun then it may stay near the surface.
Salinity - some organisms and plants can't grow in a saline environment. If theres a saline in environment it would select for organisms that are able to grow in that difficult environment.
Hope this helps.
