Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 41, No. 2, Pg. 5:
A respirometer measures the oxygen uptake of mussels and hence their metabolism rates. Scientists found that despite the high pressure and low temperature of the deep, the respiration rates of vent animals were generally comparable to those in shallow-water animals.
