Deep Ocean Diversity Slideshow

Deep sea animals must live in a very cold, dark and high pressure environment that can not see things! To survive there, they developed some very strange adaptations. Some people make their own lights, others are called bioluminescence abilities, others are completely blind. Some people look terribly like squids, others are very beautiful - even if no one highly appreciates it, except for those we are seeing. Look at some of the remarkable adaptations of deep-sea animals that evolved with this slide. Learn more about Deep Sea Coral Reefs and Deep Sea Coral Reefs in the overview page and see pictures of other bioluminescent animals.

If someone is close to the sea and is lucky, you may have the opportunity to witness the beauty and majesty of coral reefs. These beautifully diverse ecosystems are usually quite deep in the ocean. Unfortunately, experts believe that 75% of the world's coral reefs are endangered by water temperature rise, carbon dioxide and other types of underwater pollution. According to Wikipedia, "coral reefs are various underwater ecosystems of calcium carbonate structure secreted by corals.The coral reefs are constructed by colonies of small animals with little nutrients in the seawater.The most coral reefs are polyps It is made up of stone corals composed of clusters.

The structure formed by these coral reef groups is an important habitat for marine life. Coral ecosystems with deep biodiversity are found throughout the ocean in the world exposed to rich ocean currents, with combinations of rocks or hard matrices. Productivity is high in these areas, coral is a nursery bed and spawning place important for many commercially important fish. The pH of cold water is lower than that of shallow coral reefs and future predictions suggest that by the end of the century 70% of cold water corals may experience corrosion conditions (Guinotte et al. 2006).

Marine ecosystems are the most common, accounting for 75% of the Earth's surface and consist of three basic types: shallow sea, deep sea and deep sea. Shallow sea ecosystems include very biologically diverse coral reef ecosystems. Small photosynthetic organisms floating in sea water collectively called phytoplankton account for 40% of all photosynthesis on the earth. The deep-sea ecosystem contains various marine organisms. These ecosystems are very deep and light can not reach them
