Meiofauna Community in Soft Sediments at TAG and Snake Pit Hydrothermal Vent Fields
The risk assessment of seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) mining on meiobenthic organisms, specifically on soft-sediment meiofauna, is impeded by a lack of knowledge on the biology and ecology of these communities. In this study, we investigated sediment samples taken in proximity of active vents at Tra...
