Abstract:

Hadal trenches refer to the trench areas with a depth of more than 6000 meters. Despite the fact that Hadal trenches take up about one to two percent of the global sea area, they represent 45% of the depth range of sea bottom and play a very important role in ocean ecological system. Over the past half a century, researchers have taken the first steps to find out distinctive life, environment and geology in Hadal trenches. Research shows that, large amount of bizarre creatures inhabit in the trench environment and demonstrate evident region specificity, which is contrary to the initial conception that Hadal trenches lack in creatures.

However, researches on trench creatures haven’t been conducted systematically, due to limitations in technical conditions. These reports will talk about the creatures research demand for Hadal trenches science , which will lead the development of deep-sea technology and equipment.
