The Abyss Box is a vessel containing {{convert|16|l}} of water at the very high pressure of 18 megapascal to simulate the natural underwater environment of hadal fauna living at about {{convert|1800|m}} below the surface.[1] It is on display at Oceanopolis aquarium in Brest, France.[2][1] It was designed by French researcher Bruce Shillito from Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris.[3] All the equipment maintaining the extreme pressure inside the Abyss Box weighs {{convert|600|kg}}.[1] The device will keep deep-dwelling creatures alive so they can be studied, especially regarding their adaptability to warmer ocean temperatures.[1] Currently the Abyss Box houses only common species of deep sea creatures including a deep sea crab, Bythograea thermydron and a deep sea prawn, Pandalus borealis, which are some of the hardier species with a higher survival rate in depressurized environments.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite news | last= Amos | first= Jonathan | url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17085542 | title= 'Abyss Box' to keep deep animals| publisher= BBC News| date= 18 February 2012| accessdate= }} {{science-stub}}{{france-stub}}2. ^HANNAH HOAG, Wired Magazine, 06.19.12 [https://www.wired.com/2012/06/st-abyssbox ABYSS BOX DISPLAYS DEEP-SEA ANIMALS UNDER PRESSURE] 3. ^ Jennifer Welsh, Deep Sea Life On View in 'Abyss Box' NBC News, 2/21/2012 4. ^[https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2012/03/31/the-age-of-aquarius The age of Aquarius: Inner space is almost as hard to explore as outer space] The Economist, March 31, 2012 See also
