We are in about twenty seven hundred meters of water right now.
If you took all the water out and just had all the animals that are in the water column
sitting there, they would be smothering the sea floor many times over.
Much much more biomass living up here in the water column.
There are just fewer and further between.
This is probably rosasia also has many many stomachs between their own tentacles.
A veritable curtain of fish hanging down waiting to snap these krill up in this hungry mouths.
It is kind of a seemingly not very habitable place, it's cold down here the oxygen is low.
It's dark, so it's hard to find a prey or find mates.
If you were a fish trying to eat that shrimp, and you approached it to take a bite.
You'd hit the antenna first, which would give the shrimp enough time to escape.
It seems like the reason why I most of these animals that live down here is to be able
to conserve energy.
Their basically hiding in the darkness from their predator to affect their decisions to
find their prey.
