One of the denizens of the deep is the 30cm long tripod fish, Bathypterois grallator.  This unusual fish is typically found anywhere between 1-5km deep in the Atlantic, eastern Pacific, and western Indian, although future exploration wil likely reveal that is global.  First described over a century ago in 1886, the common name comes from the modified pelvic <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2010/08/the-fish-that-walks-on-stilts/">The Fish That Walks on Stilts</a></span>]]></description>

From Science Daily&#8230;
Thousands of barrels of oil are leaking out of the Deepwater Horizon site each day. The oil ascends from depths of approximately 1502 m. (4928 ft.), but not all of it reaches the sea surface. The stratified seawater of the Gulf of Mexico captures or slows the ascent of the oil, and the addition <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2010/06/oil-spill-puts-cold-deepwater-corals-at-risk/">Oil Spill Puts Cold, Deepwater Corals At Risk</a></span>]]></description>

What is the origin story of deep-sea organisms? For decades, we thought shallow coastal waters were the cradle of marine life repeatedly pumping species into the deep.  This is the simplest story.  The more complex origin story involves multiple anoxic events, catastrophic events, survival of the fittest, so on and so forth with species originating onshore <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2010/02/reconsidering-the-origins-of-marine-life-and-all-life/">Reconsidering the Origins of Marine Life and All Life</a></span>]]></description>

Morphologic is a scientific art endeavor led by marine biologist Colin Foord and designer Jared McKay. With the aquarium as our primary medium, we explore the artistic possibilities of living coral reef organisms in an educational manner.

If you would understand anything, observe its beginning and its development. –Aristotle
To understand the biogeography of the modern deep sea, we must examine the history of the ocean floor and the establishment of deep-sea fauna. The paleoceanography of the deep-sea is an account of intense fluctuations in temperature, oxygen, and circulation.  In the past ~55mya, <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2009/10/biogeography-part-1-the-origins-of-deep-sea-fauna/">The Origins of Deep-Sea Fauna</a></span>]]></description>
