                              The midnight zone is also where the number and density of fish drop off significantly, and the pressure continues to increase with depth. Because of these factors, deep sea creatures have come up with interesting adaptations to survive. “There's no sunlight, there's no moonlight,” something Noelle says certain species rely on for their mating timing. “And so your reproductive strategy is different. For example, male angler fish will fuse their bodies and circulatory system to a female when they find one, in a process called sexual parasitism. That way, when it’s time to mate, their date is already present!

                           The deeper you go into the ocean, the harder it is to study it. That’s why Laurie Barge brings the ocean to her lab instead – well, at least the chemistry. In doing that, Laurie can study how hydrothermal vents – fissures in the seafloor that spew hot, mineral-rich water – could have seeded the beginnings of life on Earth.
                           <br/>
                           <br/>
                           These vents are “actually called chemical gardens…a term for structures that grow out of chemicals and look plant-like. But they're not plants and they're not alive,” Laurie says. “It's basically a self-assembling structure that happens when you have an interface between two fluids.”

                           Using different chemical combinations, her team simulates the column-building processes of hydrothermal vents, which vary widely geographically and over time. Because of this, there are a plethora of possible chemical conditions in these vents that may have paved the way for life. For example, one vent might be white and green from magnesium silicate and iron silicate. Another may be jet black from the iron and sulfide that gives it its name: black smoker. “These minerals are interesting to make because they are particularly reactive and they are thought to drive certain reactions toward the origin of life,” Laurie says.

                           One kind of reaction she is looking for is metabolism.

                           “Metabolism is the part of biochemistry that generates energy for life,” she says. “There's a lot of options and a lot of processes that life can use. And we know that some of those are more ancient than others, so we look at the most ancient metabolic reactions, and we think, ‘Could something like this have happened just geologically on the early Earth?’ And that's what we try to simulate in the lab.”
                           <br/>
                           <br/>
                           In addition to their chemical gardens, Laurie’s lab also studies vent-adjacent microbe traps on the ocean floor. “It's a little box with four sections and we put rocks in each section. And the rocks were designed to represent rocks that you could find on the ocean worlds,” Laurie says. The goal was to see if microbes would colonize those rocks. “We left it there for two years and we came back and found it.”
