Collection And Life Support In A Hyperbaric System For Deep-Sea Organisms

This paper presents the development of a hyperbaric system able to collect, transport and maintain deep-sea species in controlled condition from the sea floor up to the surface (HiperSea System). The system is composed by two chambers coupled with a transference set-up. The first chamber is able to...

Summary:This paper presents the development of a hyperbaric system able to collect, transport and maintain deep-sea species in controlled condition from the sea floor up to the surface (HiperSea System). The system is composed by two chambers coupled with a transference set-up. The first chamber is able to reach a maximum of 1km depth collecting both benthic and pelagic deep-sea species. The second chamber is a life support compartment to maintain the specimens alive at the surface, in hyperbaric conditions.
