Adaptation: A change that helps a species better survive in its environment. Ex. Camoflage, migration, hibernation, hair There are harsh conditions present in the deep sea There are harsh conditions present in the deep sea. What adaptations have marine life developed in order to survive the abyss?
The deep sea is broadly defined as the region of the ocean where light begins to fade, approximately below 200 m (656 feet), or marking the transition from the continental shelf to the continental slope. It harbors an extraordinary diversity of life forms that thrive in the most extreme and...
From worms with squid-like tentacles to fish with teeth on their tongues, here are some of the most alien-looking creatures in the deep ocean.
What adaptations do animals that live in the Atlantic or deep-sea have? Living in the Ocean: From what we know about the origin of life on Earth, it started as small unicellular organisms living in the primordial oceans of the planet. This means that the earliest life on the...

abyssal zone, portion of the ocean deeper than about 2,000 m (6,600 feet) and shallower than about 6,000 m (20,000 feet). The zone is defined mainly by its extremely uniform environmental conditions, as reflected in the distinct life forms inhabiting it. The upper boundary between the ...
Life in the Deep Many species of deep ocean fish have special adaptations to living in extremely high pressure, low light conditions. Some of them are black as night all over with light organs (called photophores) in strategic places on their bodies, including one on modified dorsal fin that...
The deep sea biodiversity and conservation collection The deep sea, defined as ocean depths below 200 m, encompasses vast and largely unexplored habitats, such as abyssal plains, hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, and ocean trenches. This environment supports a remarkable diversity of life forms adapted...
