Abstract

p e t e r J .m i c h a e L , a N d a N N a -L O u i S e r e y S e N B a c h active hydrothermal vent deposits at the tu'i malila vent field on the Valu fa ridge within the Lau integrated Study Site, Southwest pacific.Lush animal communities take advantage of the locally elevated primary productivity close to the vents.The black snail Ifremeria nautilei and mussel Bathymodiolus brevior shown in this image are two of the chemoautotrophic symbiont-containing mollusk species that dominate biomass in this vent system.
