Deep-Sea Biology: A Natural History of Organisms at the Deep-Sea Floor Paperback - 1992

by John D. Gage; Paul A. Tyler


From the publisher

This timely volume provides a comprehensive account of the natural history of the organisms associated with the deep-sea floor and examines their relationship with this inhospitable environment--perhaps the most remote and least accessible location on the planet. The authors begin by describing the physical and chemical nature of the deep-sea floor and the methods used to collect and study its fauna. Then they discuss the ecology of the deep sea by exploring spatial patterns, diversity, biomass, vertical zonation, and large-scale distribution of organisms. Subsequent chapters review current knowledge of feeding, respiration, reproduction, and growth processes in these communities. The unique fauna of hypothermal vents and seeps are considered separately. Finally, there is a pertinent discussion of human exploitation of deep-sea resources and potential use of this environment for waste disposal.

First line

The history of the study of the populations inhabiting the interface of the floor of the deep ocean with the overlying water spans a short period of little more than the maximum lifespan of a blue whale (approx. 120 yr).
