Why can deep-sea fish live deep underwater?
The deeper you go into the ocean, the greater the pressure becomes. At the deepest part of the ocean (about 11,000 meters), the pressure is an astonishing 1,100 times that of the sea surface! The deepest fish discovered was found at a depth of 8,300 meters (in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench). How can fish survive in such high-pressure deep-sea environments? One reason is believed to be that they possess a special substance called TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide) that helps them cope with the pressure. TMAO plays a role in preventing proteins inside cells from being crushed by water pressure. However, there are things that TMAO cannot do. For that... check out the YouTube link below!
