The deep-sea ecosystems include waters and sediments at the lowest layer in the ocean, existing below the thermocline and above the seabed, at a depth of 1000 fathoms (1800 m) or more. They represent the world's largest biome, covering more than 65% of the world surface and including more than 95% of the global biosphere. This book examines the marine biology, geology and human impact of the deep-sea environment. Topics discussed include the stratigraphical distribution and evolutionary classification of the schackoinid planktic foraminifera, the biological characteristics of the skilfish, erilepis zonifer in the North Pacific Ocean, protein degradation at deep-sea sediment, primary production and carbon cycling in the deep-sea, and biodiversity and ecosystem function in the deep-Mediterranean Sea.
