Xenophyophorea / ˌ z ɛ n ə ˌ f aɪ ə ˈ f oʊ r iː ə / is a clade of foraminiferans.Xenophyophores are multinucleate unicellular organisms found on the ocean floor throughout the world's oceans, at depths of 500 to 10,600 metres (1,600 to 34,800 ft).
Rhinochimera atlantica Gigantactis is a deep-sea fish with a dorsal fin whose first filament has become very long and is tipped with a bioluminescent photophore lure. Pelican eel Bigeye tuna cruise the epipelagic zone at night and the mesopelagic zone during the day. The fish of the deep-sea have evolved various adaptations to survive in this ...
Siphonophores of the deep-sea genus Erenna (found at depths between 1,600–2,300 metres or 5,200–7,500 feet) are thought to use their bioluminescent capability for offense too, as a lure to attract fish. [8] This genus is one of the few to prey on fish rather than crustaceans. [8]
During one of these deep-sea dives, the researchers found an unfamiliar-looking reddish sea cucumber, the study said. ... The brown-ringed sea cucumber was found on a sea slope at a depth of about ...
Researchers visited the rocky shoreline of Huidong in 2023 to survey sea life in the intertidal zone, according to a study published April 12 in the peer-reviewed journal Zoosystematics and Evolution.
The deep sea is broadly defined as the ocean depth where light begins to fade, at an approximate depth of 200 m (660 ft) or the point of transition from continental shelves to continental slopes. [1] [2] Conditions within the deep sea are a combination of low temperatures, darkness, and high pressure. [3]
The gnome sea pen is about 4.6 inches long and shaped similar to a leafy plant, researchers said and photos show. The animal has a central stalk covered in 41 polyps and a “sucker-like” base ...
