    “There is a moment during every fight with a strong fish when you wonder whether it or you will win the battle” (Hudson). Since the age of four, I have enjoyed catching bass, brim, and catfish. Thirteen years later, I finally attempted my luck at deep sea fishing. Finally, my dream came true one overcast fall weekend. During the fall, saltwater fish tend to stay closer to the top of the water and in shallow waters because of the warmer water temperatures. If the water and fish comply with the weather, then fishing during the fall in Florida will not let an angler down. The night before I began my fishing adventure, my family and I were sitting around a red-hot campfire. The easterly winds caused the fire to flicker, and I roasted marshmallows…

Over four hundred types of foraminifera, which are single-celled protists, have been found here as well as amphipods, worms, sea cucumbers, and shrimp. Along with this, a record was set for the deepest depth of a found fish. It is an unknown species of snailfish. Not only is the living of importance here, but the physical makeup of the trench is as well.…

    and most are relatively uncomplicated organisms. This is for a variety of reasons; firstly the supply of water which marine life requires surviving is intermittent. Secondly, the wave action around the shore can wash away or dislodge poorly suited or more adapted organisms. Thirdly, because of the intertidal zone's high exposure to the sun the temperature ranges can be very extreme. For example the temperature could be extremely hot or extremely cold like in frigid climates. Abyssal Because…

These conditions have caused the organisms which live there to evolve, often through unusual and unique adaptations, so they can live, reproduce, and thrive. An extreme environment is a place where humans normally do not live or could die there. There are organisms caused extremophiles that live there and are so well-adapted that they readily grow and multiply in…

    Deep sea mining is a fairly new issue within the scientific community only being utilized in mineral collecting for the past two decades (Theil).

    A deep-sea hydrothermal vent is one of the harshest places to live on earth. This is due to the pitch darkness, heavy metals, extreme acidity, poison gas and the enormous pressure. Sunlight penetrates no further than a few hundred feet down which means the deep-sea floor is as dark as a deep cave. There are no plants due to no sunlight and all the vent life belong to the animal kingdom. Due to there being no plants there is no photosynthesis. These organisms rely on a process called…

    Deep Sea Vent Ecology - A Brief and Semi-Remembered Broad Overview So there's life in the deep oceans here on Earth, and I mean the deep oceans, two and three miles down, where light has never and will never reach. And this life lives without oxygen, or light, and they do it around deep sea vents, fissures in the tectonic plate, that spew heavy metals and toxic gases at scorching (or boiling, as the case may be) temperatures. These chemicals and metals build up around the fissure and form…
