What Animals Live In The Seamounts at Kathleen Schmidt blog

What Animals Live In The Seamounts. Because seamounts can span from deep, cold, dark waters to shallow, warmer waters, they provide incredibly important habitat for corals, sponges, octopuses, and fish, as well as feeding grounds for larger marine animals like whales, sharks, and even seabirds. While some organisms live in both places, there are many animals that appear to occur only on seamounts and abyssal hills. Along with the variety of new organisms—including sponges, amphipods, urchins, crustaceans, and corals— the team mapped four seamounts in chilean waters that were previously unknown to scientists, they report today in a press release. In general, more suspension feeders, such as corals, live on. They provide something hard to come by in the deep ocean: These seamounts are known to be rich in biodiversity and abundance of marine wildlife. Some are unique to seamounts themselves and some live only on a specific species of coral. Thousands of seamounts—most of them undersea volcanoes—tower above the muddy seafloor. We’ll be exploring these areas using a remotely operated vehicle (rov) to document life in these unique offshore habitats. We’ll be livestreaming and sending out updates live from the boat to protectoceans.ca.
