Far beneath the ocean's surface, scientists have encountered creatures with extraordinary adaptations that seem almost ...

By David Brown Plastic pollution could disrupt the bioluminescent light produced by deep-sea organisms, researchers warn in a letter in the journal Cambridge Prisms: Plastics. When deep-sea organisms ...

Deep-sea mining may still be in its infancy, but scientists and environmentalists are already raising the alarm about the risks. Seafloor massive sulfides that form around hydrothermic vents are rich ...

A world-first study led by Museums Victoria Research Institute has revealed that beneath the cold, dark, pressurized world of the deep sea, marine life is far more globally connected than previously ...

More than 700 people attended the event, learning more about the least-explored ecosystem on the planet and the researchers ...

Meet the “ghost fish,” a phantom of the abyss. Here’s how we found the first ever proof of its existence just a few years ago. The deep sea is a part of the world that very few humans get the chance ...

Many deep-sea species are thought to have evolved from shallow-water ancestors, making their adaptations critical to marine biology research. Using innovative in situ sampling and fixation techniques, ...

Scientists discovered a giant underwater mountain. And it's teeming with deep sea life. An endeavor aboard the Falkor (too) — a 363-foot (111-meter) research vessel operated by the Schmidt Ocean ...

Thousands of genes from deep-sea marine life are being used to create new commercial products ranging from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics. Genes are segments of DNA that provide instructions for making ...
