Amphipod

In the oligotrophic environment that is “the Challenger Deep”, the pressure won't just kill you, it will do it in record time too. Being less the size of an average pinkie finger, a couple of unique tools would be required to guarantee survival. Beside the aluminium ions strengthening their exoskeletons, how have they adapted to the scarce food found in the deepest of the deep? Inside their stomachs, researchers have found enzymes capable of breaking down wood and plant material, independent from a symbiotic effect from fungi or bacteria. This means that these little scavengers can feed off of shipwrecks and other wooden debris that would fall from the higher depths of the ocean. Seeming small and insignificant, the chemical reactions inside their stomachs could help with our future problems if studied correctly.
