Microdistribution of faunal assemblages at deep-sea hydrothermal vents in the Southern Ocean.

Microdistribution of faunal assemblages at deep-sea hydrothermal vents in the Southern Ocean.

Chemosynthetic primary production by microbes supports abundant faunal assemblages at deep-sea hydrothermal vents, with zonation of invertebrate species typically occurring along physico-chemical gradients. Recently discovered vent fields on the East Scotia Ridge (ESR) in the Southern Ocean represen...
