Hey all;-
    Someone recently wrote about the meriads of undiscovered species
that probably inhabit the deepest parts of the oceans. Correct me if
I'm wrong (it would be the first time since 1967) but wouldn't the
absence of sunlight keep plants from growing down there? And,
therefore, wouldn't there be far fewer grazing mollusks? And thus
fewer critters for carnivorous mollusks to dine on? I know all about
the warm vents and the strange things that live there, but I believe
these may be in very limited parts of the oceans.
    Your comments?
