This, coupled with the seabed and water characteristics mentioned above, results in conditions favorable to fishing, sailing, windsurfing, swimming and research on deep-sea organisms.

They discovered more than 4,700 new species of marine life, including deep-sea organisms.

This aroused my curiosity, for I knew of no deep-sea organism capable of emitting such luminosity.

They could not come out of the ocean to grapple with him, for they were deep-sea organisms.

However, characteristics of deep-sea organisms, such as bioluminescence can be seen in the mesopelagic (200m-1000m deep) zone as well.

Previously, benthic oceanographers assumed that vent organisms were dependent on marine snow, as deep-sea organisms are.

Pressure is the greatest environmental factor acting on deep-sea organisms.

Published research has shown that benthic trawling destroys the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa, an important habitat for many deep-sea organisms.

"I've seen deep-sea organisms on Arken and Earth with similar arrays of lights."

Research into the effects of high pressures on microorganisms was largely focused on deep-sea organisms until the 1980s, when advancements in ceramic processing were made.
