The Deep Sea• The ocean is defined by
depth
• All have different • Characteristics• Properties• Ecosystems
• Our focus today: • > 1000 m

Ocean Conveyor Belt
![Page 4: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Ocean Conveyor Belt• This is the interplay of water through the world’s oceans, constant
motion.• Motion is caused by thermohaline currents (thermo=
temperature, haline = salt) in the deep ocean and wind driven currents on the surface.
• Cold, dense water sinks to the bottom while the less dense warm water stays on the surface.
• “Starts” in the Norwegian Sea where warm water from the Gulf Stream heats the atmosphere in the cold northern latitudes. This loss of heat to the atmosphere makes the water cooler and denser, causing it to sink to the bottom of the ocean. As more warm water is transported north, the cooler water sinks and moves south to make room for the incoming warm water. This cold bottom water flows south of the equator all the way down to Antarctica. Eventually, the cold bottom waters return to the surface through mixing and wind-driven upwelling, continuing the conveyor belt that encircles the globe. http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/conveyor.html

• Extremely important to the deep sea because it brings nutrients and allows upwelling to occur.
• Upwelling= Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away (www.noaa.gov). The water is colder and full of rich nutrients.
• Takes around 1600 - 2000 years for one drop of water to go through the loop.
• The drops of water get caught up in gyres (area of rotating currents) and seas.

Pressure
• Fluid pressure in the deep sea animals tissues matches the pressure of the surrounding water. Tissue fluid pressure pushes against the surrounding pressure with an equal but opposite force, preventing the animals body from being crushed.
![Page 10: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cold Temperatures
• Low body temperature = low metabolism• Animals move slower and grow slower• Reproduce less frequently• Require less food• Advantage of cold-> Increased density of the
water -> body densities are close to that of the water so they don’t have to expend energy to keep from sinking
![Page 11: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Oxygen
• Adequate oxygen because cold water can dissolve more oxygen than the warmer, deepest waters generate from shallow polar seas.
• Northern and Southern Seas= thermohaline currents = oxygen rich waters cool off so much that they become dense enough to sink to the bottom.
![Page 13: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Color
• Those that live in the well lit areas adapt by countershading -> dark dorsal surface and lighter ventral to blend in.
![Page 14: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Diphotic / Twilight Zone
• 150-450 meters (500-1500 ft.) -> there is still enough light to use countershading as camouflage
• Ex- Hatchetfish
![Page 15: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Photophores
• Light producing organs located all along their body
• Aids in species recognition and bioluminescence may make the ventral surface lighter = camouflage
![Page 16: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Twilight Zone and Below
• Variety of colors:– Iridescent sheen – Black and brown – Deep reds and purples– Bioluminescent– White (Benthic)– Red and Orange appears to be black and gray in
depths
![Page 17: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bioluminescence• Animals found between 300-2400 m. (1,000- 8,000 ft.)• Squid, crustaceans, fish -> have their own
luminescent organs• Others harbor bacteria (mutualism)= light for the host
and the bacteria have a place to live / feed.• Some can control bioluminescence by altering the
flow of oxygenated blood to the regions where the bacteria lives.– Increased oxygen levels = glow– Decreased oxygen levels = no glow
![Page 18: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why and how does bioluminescence occur?
• Occurs because of luciferin, a protein, that combines with oxygen in the presence of luciferase and ATP
• The chemical energy of ATP is converted into light energy.
• Very efficient, almost 100% light, no heat• Most light is blue / green, some reds and
yellows have been reported
![Page 19: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Luminescent Organs
• Rows of photophores along their sides or bellies
• Depressions on their head or growths coming out of the top of their head
• Deep Sea Squid- spots on their tentacles
![Page 20: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Mating / Species Recognition
• Patterns of light identifies an individual as being male or female.
• A series of light flashes means they are ready to mate.– Ex.- Lanternfish-> males carry bright lights at the
tops of their tails, whereas females have only weak lights on the underside of their tails.
– Species identification- lanternfish have three rows of light spots, where another species may have two.

Attracting Prey
• Anglerfish and Stomiatoids attract prey with lures
• Ventral surface lights up = see their prey• Lights around their eyes that illuminate
whatever the fish looks like.• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUVerZ

Defense
• Squid release a bioluminescent fluid that clouds the water with light confusing predators.
• Opossum shrimp- female carries her eggs in a pouch under her thorax and when threatened they release a substance that bursts into a cloud of mini light particles that look like stars in the sky.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HXXQBz6Vv0
![Page 24: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Seeing in the Dark
• Normal vertebrate eye spheroid / one retina• Deep Sea= tubular and contain 2 retinas• Retina 1= See distance• Retina 2= See close up• Allows them to see better in dim light and
have good depth perception. They can judge the distance of their prey better so they won’t miss it. This is a HUGE ADVANTAGE!
![Page 25: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• At depths between 900-1500 m. the eyes are smaller and less functional.
• Ex- Anglerfish: it begins life in well lit areas and as they become an adult they sink and live in the depths, about 1800 meters. The eyes stop growing and degenerate.
![Page 26: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Finding Mates• Anglerfish: males bite the female and remain
attached, sometimes forever (lifelong parasite). The skin around the males mouth and jaws fuses with the females body and only a small opening remains on either side of the mouth for gas exchange.
• The eyes and most of the internal organs degenerate and the circulatory system becomes connected to the females. The male is just an external sperm producing appendage.
• Females have lures• Males have teeth (snout and chin)
![Page 27: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Finding Food• Food is scarce• Feed on organic waste, dead organisms, and
scraps• Detritus feeders are key prey in the deep sea
food web• Many rise at night to feed in the nutrient rich
waters, returning during the day (vertical migrations)
![Page 28: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Gulper Eels
• Hinged jaws (trapdoor) and stomachs that can expand to several times their size.
• The tip of the tail is bioluminescent and may be used to attract prey.
![Page 29: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Stomiatoids – Black Sea Dragon• Ingest prey larger than itself• Most species are 6-7 inches long• Large heads, curved fang like teeth and
elongated bodies that tapers into a small tail
![Page 30: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
More about Black Sea Dragons
• Barbel- fleshy projection that dangles below its chin / throat. It varies from species to species.– Some are short hairs– Some are whip-like structures– Many are bioluminescent
• Unknown function but may be used as a lure, to probe bottom ooze for food, or species identification during mating.
![Page 31: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Anglerfish
• Lure at the tip that is a modified dorsal spine- acts like a fishing pole, lies in a groove on top when it’s not used.
![Page 32: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Giants of the Deep
• Most are small but there are some large ones- perhaps because they live longer and can grow more.
• Ex- Sea Urchins (30 cm. = 1 ft.)• Ex- Hydroids (8 ft. high)

Vampire Squid
• Webbing between the arms and dark color cloak like a vampire
• They think it avoided extinction by retreating to the bottom of the ocean while its ancestors died 100 mya
• Soft muscles / poor development = bad swimmer, most likely drifts
• Bioluminescent organs that are covered by large flaps of skin

Life on the Bottom- Benthic Communities
• Biggest struggle-> availability of food • No photosynthesis, cold temps• Slow bacteria growth• Base of the food chain is vey limited / non-existent• Food consists of whatever falls from above ->
particles, carcasses, feces, and organic matter• Turbidity currents deliver organic nutrients to
abyssal plains and trenches
![Page 39: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Food Chains
• Meiofauna-> small benthic invertebrates• Ex- foraminifera and nematode worms feed
on bacteria, organic matter, and each other.
![Page 40: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Infauna• Animals living in the sediment of the ocean floor• Ex- Larger worms and bivalves feed on meiofauna.• Deposit feeders • Deep sea bivalves use siphons to suck food up on
the sediment• Other deposit feeders-> sea cucumbers (sea pig),
brittlestars, and urchins dominate the landscape• Giant crinoids and sea pens -> suspension feeders• Predators= fish, squid, sea stars• Mid-ocean trenches-> food is scarce, even tiny
organisms are rare

• Discovered in 1977 by Bob Ballard
• Galapagos• Was in the Alvin and he saw a
shimmery object. He put a probe in it and it melted.
![Page 44: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
How does a vent form?• Hot vent fluid mixes with cold seawater causing a
series of chemical reactions to occur.• Example -sulfur in some vent fluid combines with
the metals, forming sulfide minerals. When the mixing occurs as the fluid exits the seafloor, the minerals precipitate to form chimney-like structures that project (sometimes for several meters) into the surrounding ocean.
• Bacteria covers the area attracting other small organisms such as amphipods and copepods.
![Page 45: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Chemosynthetic Bacteria of the Vents
• 6CO2 + 6H2O + 3H2S -> C6H12O6 + 3H2SO4
• Use energy contained in HS- to make organic material• Bacteria are the base of the vent food chain
![Page 46: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Tube WormsRiftia worm
Special organ filled with symbiotic bacteria that perform chemosynthesis which pass organic matter to worm. They actually don’t eat but house the bacteria in their guts.
Red plume acts like gill- exchanges CO2, O2, H2S with water
Size: up to 6 ft- 10 ft.Thought they were clams
![Page 47: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Why are the vents important?
• Oasis of life, about 300 species have been identified. A new organisms is discovered every 10 days.
• Doesn’t depend on photosynthesis- perhaps life didn’t begin by photosynthesis, but through chemosynthesis.
• May provide information on the formation of life.
• Think there may be more biomass in our crust.
![Page 48: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Deep Sea Adaptations• Small. Less than 10cm. Example-
Ogre fish (Fang tooth) which is 4 cm.
• Reduced or no swim bladder• Bioluminescence- 95% of all ocean
animals• Large mouths- eat large things, they
may not eat for a while• Hermaphroditic- need to change
sexes• Dark coloration- red = can’t see me,
many are flabby, some are clear
![Page 49: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Why are they small?
• Not a lot of food-> don’t spend their energy on being large, they need to move, reproduce, and conserve energy.

What organisms that you know of have bioluminescence?
Bioluminescence evolved in several kingdoms.
Evolution:In early evolution, O2 was toxic. Some organisms were able to convert it to a nontoxic substance, which had the tendency to produce photons of light. This may have had a selective advantage to some organisms.
Not found in freshwater organisms.

Examples of Bacterial Photophores:• fish, few squid, Pyrosoma (tunicate)
How do they get bacteria?• organ open to exterior (provide entrance for
bacteria to enter)• potentially continuous luminescence

Cephalopod Photophore
![Page 92: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Photophores• Cephalopods possess a great variety• Some are very small and complex less
than .2 mm, while others are large. • Wide range in structure from a simple
group of photogenic cells to organs with photogenic cells surrounded by reflectors, lenses, light guides, color filters and muscles.
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtQGslJjLdc
![Page 93: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
• Complex photophores are often able to actively adjust the color, intensity and angle of the light they produce.
• Photophores of most oceanic cephalopods have intrinsic luminescence with the light coming from their own specialized cells, the photocytes.
• Photophores of most neritic cephalopods, in contrast, have extrinsic luminescence with the light produced by bacteria that are cultured in specialized light organs of the host cephalopod.
![Page 94: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Chromatophores• Pigment cells that
absorb light leaving the photophore in undesirable directions or that shield the reflectors of the photophore, when the photophore is not active, from reflecting external light that could reveal the presence of the cephalopod.
![Page 95: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Color Filters• Structures within
a photophore that restrict the color of the light emitted by the photocytes. Filters can either rely on selective absorption of light (pigment filters) or selective transmission/reflection of light (iridophores).
![Page 96: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Lenses
• A variety of structures that apparently affect the directionality of light are called "lenses." Some of these appear to act like typical optical lenses but the mode of action of others (like those in the illustration to the right) are uncertain.
![Page 97: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Light Guides
• Structures that control the direction of emitted light through the use of "light pipes" that rely on total internal reflection. These function in the same manner as fiber-optic light guides.
![Page 98: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Photocytes
• Photocytes - Cells that produce light (i.e., the bioluminescence).
![Page 99: Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102801/568163b0550346895dd4c858/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Reflectors• The primary reflectors are structures at the
back of a photophore that reflect light toward the exterior. These may be broad-band reflectors that reflect all light or narrow-band reflectors that selectively reflect specific colors. Light not reflected by the latter structure passes through it and is absorbed by chromatophores that usually surround the reflector. Secondary reflectors can be found in various regions near the distal parts of the photophore. These generally have a role in controlling the directionality of the emitted light.

Photogenic crystalloids
• Some photocytes have crystalline-like inclusions that are thought to be the actual site within the cell where light is produced.

Control of Bioluminescence:They can control bioluminescent intensity by controlling blood supply to light organ (i.e., control the amt of O2 -- O2 decreases light intensity decreases)
Light control using a shield• Lid• Vascular control• Rotation of organ
