Food is hard to come by in the deep sea. Remember, the deep sea is below sunlit waters where phytoplankton are no longer an abundant food source. Deep-sea organisms have evolved incredible adaptations to make a meal in this food-limited habitat. In general, food in the deep sea comes in two forms. It is either small, frequent, and low in calories, like sinking particles, or large, rare, and nutritious. The latter, referred to as a food fall, occurs when a fresh animal carcass or clump of plant material rapidly sinks, providing a lavish feast to animals on the seafloor.
