Published literature reveals the presence of the Shinkaia crosnieri in places like hydrothermal vents near Papua New Guinea, Japan, and Taiwan, at depths ranging from 1,330 to 1,483m.

The eelpout is part of a medley of other species that form Jacó Scar’s composite ecosystem, along with, for example, clams typically found at cold seeps and bacteria found at hydrothermal vents.

Cold seeps release methane, petroleum, carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide, while high-temperature seeps – known as hydrothermal vents or hot springs – are associated with underwater volcanoes ...

Both cold seeps and their chemical and geological relatives, hydrothermal vents, are rich in reduced chemicals, particularly hydrogen sulfide. These chemicals are toxic. Sulfide and oxygen don’t ...

This seep isn’t either of those. It’s linked to a fault line: Scientists first mistook the leak for a cold methane seep – there are at least 1,000 methane seeps in the region.

Cold seeps are places where hydrocarbon-rich fluids seep or flow out of small vents onto the sea floor. Only a few degrees warmer than the surrounding ocean temperature, they create unique ...

There may be no ecosystem on Earth that seems less hospitable than hydrothermal vents.In the perpetual darkness, cold and relentless pressures of the deep sea, these volcanic seeps spew piping hot ...

The methane is produced inside the Earth and is distributed to the sea floor by underwater vents. This type of ecosystem is known as a "cold-seep" or a "cold-vent." The first of its kind was ...

Multiple cold seeps have been identified in the South China Sea and were first found in the northern region in 2004, according to a study published Jan. 2 in the peer-reviewed journal ...

Typical deep-sea ecosystems such as hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, seamounts, oceanic trenches, and whale falls, shatter our early understanding of the deep ... Ecology Oct 18, 2022 ...
