Hydrothermal vents, driven by volcanism along tectonic plate boundaries, are short-lived openings in the seafloor that spew super-heated, chemical-rich fluids into the ocean. Often composed of dramatic chimney spires, hydrothermal vents are important habitat in the deep ocean, supporting chemosynthetic communities that can include shrimp, tubeworms, crabs, fish, and more. https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/news/exploration-extras/24-national-ocean-month/welcome.html#chemosynthetic | NOAA Ocean Explo

In the deep sea, hydrothermal vents are biologically important, harboring massive animal communities at densities that make them one of the most productive ecosystems on Earth. All this biomass exists thousands of feet below the sea surface and, unlike most communities, which rely on sunlight, the food web of hydrothermal vents is based on tiny chemosynthetic microbes (bacteria) which derive their energy from metabolizing vented chemicals.

One of the few animals with backbones around hydrothermal vent sites, zoarcid fish (Thermarces cerberus) make their homes among dense patches of tubeworms, sometimes tunneling into empty tubes to hide. The voracious zoarcid eats vent crabs, amphipods, and limpets–which allows tubeworm larvae to settle and grow. Growing up to two feet (0.6 m), these fish are also known as eelpouts or (erroneously) pink vent fish. Dive deeper into the amazing world of hydrothermal vents! divediscover.whoi.edu/hydr

During the first leg of the Deepwater Exploration of the Marianas expedition, we conducted three dives focused on looking for active hydrothermal vent sites -- and we even found some! These sites are oases of life on the seafloor, supporting incredibly dense communities of animals – in particular chemosynthetic fauna. Check out more highlights from Leg 1 of the expedition: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/explorations/ex1605/logs/may12/welcome.html | NOAA Ocean Exploration
