Abyssbox, the Eye of the Depths
Scientists from the Pierre and Marie Curie University, from the CNRS and from the IFREMER gathered with the Océanopolis Park, located in Brest (France), to present a new permanent and exclusive exhibition: Abyssbox.
Thanks to an experimental box, conceived by a CNRS researcher, the extreme living conditions of the depths have been reconstituted. This underwater faun (at the moment shrimps and crabs) is maintained in life and observed in a pressurized aquarium which reproduce the depths pressure. For the first time in the world, a small porthole allows the public and the scientists to gaze at these animals that usually cannot be observed out of their environment.
