Deep ocean adaptations

• The clam Calyptogena magnifica, which lives on
  deep-sea vents, depends on a bacterium to supply
  it with nutrients the bacterium is transmitted
  through the clams eggs. The same goes for our
  mitochondria the remnants of bacteria that live
  in our cells and provide us with energy.

• The speed of sound in water increases with
  increasing water temperature, increasing salinity
  and increasing pressure (depth). The approximate
  change in the speed of sound with a change in
  each property is
• Temperature 1C 4.0 m/sSalinity 1PSU 1.4
  m/sDepth (pressure) 1km 17 m/s
• Ocean 1500 m/s (air 344m/s)
