Summary

Fauna inhabiting the deep-sea usually obtains its nutrition from sinking organic matter formed by photosynthesis in the photic zone. This photosynthetic organic matter is degraded during its fall and, as a result, these great depths are typically host to a high biodiversity but low biomass. The discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents in the late 1970s
