The Importance of Deep Sea Nematodes
Deep sea nematodes play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by participating in bio-turbation and feeding on bacteria and diatoms. They are an essential part of the food chain, contributing to carbon cycling in the deep sea. However, the effects of climate change, such as temperature increases, can disrupt their populations and threaten their survival. Further research is needed to understand their biodiversity and the potential impacts of climate change on their ecosystems.
