NOAA rendering of a brine pool in the Gulf of Mexico Chimaeridae fish and seep mussels at edge of brine pool. A brine pool, sometimes called an underwater lake, deepwater or brine lake, is a volume of brine collected in a seafloor depression. These pools are dense bodies of water that have a salinity that is typically three to eight times ...
The various brine pools contain somewhat similar diversities of microbes; however, due to the different characteristics of each brine pool, distinct microbe compositions are seen. Similarly to the Gulf of Mexico [18] brine pools, the Red Sea brine pool experiences stratification within each distinct brine pool. [19]
Eptatretus springeri, the Gulf hagfish, [3] is a bathy demersal vertebrate which lives primarily in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. [4] It has been observed feeding at and around brine pools: areas of high salinity which resemble lakes on the ocean floor that do not mix with the surrounding water due to difference in density.
A sea ice brine pocket is an area of fluid sea water with a high salt concentration trapped in sea ice as it freezes. Due to the nature of their formation, brine pockets are most commonly found in areas below −2 °C (28 °F), where it is sufficiently cold for seawater to freeze and form sea ice.

Pool water reflux into the substrate (RE): The reflux is similar to the seawater seepage but in a different direction. The substrate soaks up the dense bottom water and reduces the total salt in the pool. Evaporative pumping by the pool brine (EP): The pumping effect buffers evaporation.
