Geomorphological evidence of large vertebrates interacting with the seafloor at abyssal depths in a region designated for deep-sea mining by Leigh Marsh, Veerle A. I. Huvenne, Daniel O. B. Jones

“…These nodule-bearing areas support a large diversity of deep-sea life and although studies have begun to characterize the benthic fauna within the region, the ecological interactions between large bathypelagic vertebrates of the open ocean and the abyssal seafloor remain largely unknown. …”

Transcriptomics reveal several gene expression patterns in the piezophile Desulfovibrio hydrothermalis in response to hydrostatic pressure. by Amira Amrani, Aurélie Bergon, Hélène Holota, Christian Tamburini, Marc Garel, Bernard Ollivier, Jean Imbert, Alain Dolla, Nathalie Pradel

“…ATP measurements showed that the energy metabolism of this bacterium is optimized for deep-sea life conditions. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms linked to hydrostatic pressure adaptation in sulfate-reducing bacteria.…”

Review of the Impact of Whale Fall on Biodiversity in Deep-Sea Ecosystems by Qihui Li, Yaping Liu, Guo Li, Zhikai Wang, Zheng Zheng, Yuyang Sun, Ningfei Lei, Qi Li, Weizhen Zhang

“…In the seafloor of the North Pacific, whale fall supports the survival of at least 12,490 organisms of 43 species, contributing to the prosperity of deep-sea life. Due to the specificity of the time and space of the formation of whale fall, there are few studies on whale fall and its impact on the deep-sea ecosystem. …”

Carbon and nitrogen turnover in the Arctic deep sea: in situ benthic community response to diatom and coccolithophorid phytodetritus by U. Braeckman, U. Braeckman, F. Janssen, G. Lavik, M. Elvert, H. Marchant, C. Buckner, C. Bienhold, C. Bienhold, F. Wenzhöfer, F. Wenzhöfer

“…Deep-sea benthic communities depend strongly on such blooms, but with a change in quality and quantity of primarily produced organic matter (OM) input, this may likely have implications for deep-sea life. We compared the in situ responses of Arctic deep-sea benthos to input of phytodetritus from a diatom (<i>Thalassiosira</i> sp.) and a coccolithophorid (<i>Emiliania huxleyi</i>) species. …”

Detecting the Effects of Deep-Seabed Nodule Mining: Simulations Using Megafaunal Data From the Clarion-Clipperton Zone by Jeff A. Ardron, Jeff A. Ardron, Erik Simon-Lledó, Daniel O. B. Jones, Henry A. Ruhl, Henry A. Ruhl

“…The determination of what constitutes serious harm is a legal question that will need to consider socially acceptable levels of long-term harm to deep-sea life. Monitoring details, data, and results including power analyses should be made fully available, to facilitate independent review and informed policy discussions.…”
