Evaluation of the Possibility of Observing Normal Behavior of an Organism at a Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent

Abstract

It is likely that the bright lights of a deep sea submersible coming into position at a hydrothermal vent seriously disturbs the behavior of the life found there. It may be of interest to observe the 'normal' behavior or natural response to selected stimuli. A possible means of providing illumination that permits such observation is discussed.
