Eat or Be Eaten
It is a vicious world down here. You will see a helpless little floating white blob of light extinguished before your very eyes. It can be on a small scale where
the Vampire Squid ensnares a floating copepond with its tentaclese or on a large scale where schools of lantern fish are trapped by the enormous mouth of a
gulper eel. It does not matter what scale it is on, if you embark on this expedition with Atlantis Adventures Co., be aware of the interactions between a predator and its prey.
As seen from the food web above, copepods are a food source for a number of abyssal organims. These "insects of the sea" are huge in number and their predators keep them from overrunning marine ecosystems. Additionally, it can be seen that vent octopuses are top-level predators at hydrothermal vents. They help to keep the population of creatures that thrive at these underwater hotspots under control.
