Los Angeles : Small deep-water marine animals communicate through sound indecipherable to the human ear while traveling up and down from the depths of ocean to feed and protect themselves, a new study from the Univerty of California has found, reports PTI.
The study suggests that, organisms, who inhabit ocean’s mesopelagic zone – the part where water level is 200 to 1000 metres below the surface – could be communicating by listening and responding to environmental sounds,
Due to their combined mass, these animals also play a major role in the global cycling of carbon from the atmosphere to the seafloor.
