To study the response of the smaller benthic biota to larger food-falls and their possible effects on the biodiversity at the deep seafloor, we deployed the halves of a sagittally bisected porpoise (1.3 m in length; each half approximately 18 kg) at 2500 m and 5400 m water depth at the LTER (Long-Te...
