Long-lived deep-sea fishes imperiled by technology, overfishing

Many commercially prized fish from the depths of the world’s oceans are severely threatened by over-fishing and the species' ability to recover is constrained by the fishes' long lifespans and low reproductive success, a panel of experts said today at the annual meeting of the American Association of the Advancement of Science.

10. New studies reveal surprises about deep sea corals and their past
    02-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
    New research shows that the second most diverse group of hard corals first evolved in the deep sea, and not in shallow waters. This finding contradicts a long-established theory suggesting that corals evolved in shallow water before migrating into deeper habitats. A panel of researchers will discuss this and other new discoveries about deep-sea corals at a press conference at the 2008 American Association for the Advancement of Science Annual Meeting in Boston.
