Abstract:At depths below 200 m, the pelagic deep sea comprises the largest, but least explored, part of the ocean. In this vast environment, animals are hard to find, and interactions among them are even harder to investigate (Robison, 2009).

Many of these changes occur outside of the range of human observation and are unrecognized so that effec… Show more
