Role of deep-sea equipment in promoting the forefront of studies on life in extreme environments

Summary: The deep-sea environment creates the largest ecosystem in the world with the largest biological community and extensive undiscovered biodiversity. Nevertheless, these ecosystems are far from well known. Deep-sea equipment is an indispensable approach to research life in extreme environments...
