A 5.3-million-year-old deep-sea whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone
Abstract Whale falls are biodiversity oases at seabeds1,2,3,4,5,6, yet their record from the oceans has remained sparse and fragmentary6,7. Here we report the discovery of a vast whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone (4,616- to 7,001-m depth), extending about 1,200 km along the sea floor of the southeastern Indian Ocean. This area has a deep and extensive accumulation comprising five modern natural whale-fall communities and 476 fossil cetaceans recorded.
Mining companies may soon bypass UN rules and mine the deep sea
Mining companies may soon bypass UN rules and mine the deep sea Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A Canadian deep-sea mining company may become the first to commercially mine the international seabed under a controversial U.S. executive order that bypasses United Nations regulations. A recent legal analysis suggests that this could place Canada in violation of international law. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently announced that an...
Deep-sea supergiant isopods last years without food by using a two-part survival system
Deep-sea supergiant isopods last years without food by using a two-part survival system Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The supergiant bathynomid is a deep-sea isopod famous for surviving more than five years without food. Despite residing in an extremely low-nutrient habitat, these organisms exhibit pronounced body gigantism, a trait that requires substantial energy. This raises an energy paradox: How do these apparently energy-hungry isopods sustain their...
Deep-sea discovery uncovers new family of copepods near Greenland
Deep-sea discovery uncovers new family of copepods near Greenland Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor An international research team, including Dr. Nancy Mercado Salas from the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB), has described a new family of copepods (Copepoda). The discovery was made at a depth of more than 2,500 meters in the Irminger Basin, southeast of Greenland, and provides new insights into the evolution of a group of animals that...

Ping-pong sponges, ‘black smokers’ and floating somethings: the secrets of the deep sea
The bottom of the ocean has barely been explored, but every journey to the deep reveals wondrous new lifeforms. As underwater mining gains momentum, we risk destroying one of the Earth’s last great wildernessesOn 8 March 2014, at 1.20am, Malaysian Airlines flight 370 veered off its scheduled route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. An hour later, military radar spotted the plane heading west over the Andaman Sea.
