Challenges of the Deep Sea

Description:

This station focuses upon the adaptations that deep-sea fish have developed in order to survive the harsh conditions found within the deep-sea environment. These adaptations include bioluminescence, pressure adaptations, feeding adaptations, and reproduction adaptations. Fish living within this region have had to develop modifications to their body plans that have necessitated compromises in other areas. There are several activities that serve to enforce the basic concepts learned during this station.
