Starting from a jellyfish that can emit light, until the cylindrical worm, which lives by consuming oil seeping from the seabed as their food. A total of 17 650 living species in area of seabed that is very dark and cold, were it up to 5 kilometers (about 3 miles), including shrimps, corals, starfish, crabs, and so forth.
Robert Carney of Louisiana State University, chairman of the research team deepwater projects Survey of Ocean International (CoML) told Reuters, "Variations kinds of creatures that live in the deep ocean far beyond our imagination so far, here is no longer a black hole in the simple. "CoML survey project is a project that is planned to be completed by October 2010.
Generally light can penetrate to a depth of 200 meters into the sea, or almost equivalent to the height of the Washington monument that reaches 169 meters, more than it has been regarded as a high-pressure destructive that can not be covered by anything. Outside the area that can be covered by plants that receive the sun light, living creatures can only live in a way to parse the bacteria contained in the methane or oil, or from the bodies of dead sea creatures such as whales bodies to survive.
Among the marine life in this there are jellyfish that can emit light and some kind of creature tangible jelly eight-legged finned or called "the ear great" aka Dumbo, because of the creature using his ears to pack water, like a character from flying elephant Dumbo in movies cartoon.
Mike Vecchione of the Smithsonian said "the big ear" has a length of about 2 meters, which is a large-sized creatures on the seabed, there are also a number of sharks and jellyfish cylindrical. He told Reuters that the cylindrical jellyfish even longer than the blue whale.
When drilling offshore petroleum in the Gulf of Mexico, on the seabed at a depth of 990 meters the scientists found their cylindrical worm. When the robot hand to catch and pull the worm out of the hole the seabed, there is oil that gushed out. It relies living creatures to break down petroleum.
Carney said that the interests of the oil mining companies are conducting a survey to find oil deposits, but the presence of a cylindrical worm can be regarded as a sign. "If it is found the worm cylinder, means near where it no methane or liquid petroleum."
However, Carney also said that a number of scientists "feel upset because it is generally part of the seabed rarely get attention", and scientists are worried about the exploration of natural resources is carried out on the deep sea because humans still do not have sufficient understanding of the creatures living in a very deep part of the sea. What is known about the man living creatures in the deep ocean is very little.
A total of 680 types of specimens of copepods-shelled creatures that have been collected from the southeast Atlantic Ocean there are only 7 of them were recognizable. In addition've also found for the first time a kind of worm Osedax at the poles.

Although the deep sea floor covered with eternal darkness, a number of living beings can emit their own light, they rely on this light to target the game as well to attract a mate, and they also have eyes that can see. There are also a number of marine creatures that swim on its sunny side up to the part that is very deep, once there are people who find seals at a depth of 2,388 meters.
Climate change is warming world and human activities such as burning fossil fuels also had an impact on the most inside of an ocean. Vecchione said, "There is already evidence to suggest that climate warming has occurred in the deep sea and the water quality becomes acidic."
