Secrets Of The Deep
A note for the Ecotone Wiki’s entry on Ocean and Sea.
There’s an excellent gallery of fishes and other creatures from the deep sea here. Do not view if you’re prone to nightmares. (From Metafilter).
Closer to the littoral zone, giant crabs are invading Norwegian coastal waters. These crabs were originally from the Bering sea and Kamchatka and were introduced in the 1930s into the Barents Sea for food production. Following a population explosion in the 1990s, these crabs rapidly moving down the Norwegian coast, eating every fish in sight.
- Those deep sea fish really do look like monsters of the deep – not at all the pretty fish we see darting in the shallower waters.— Jenny 3. March 2004, 00:37 Link
