DEEP-SEA FISH

Some years ago, a well-known scientist called Dr. William Beebe became interested in
discovering what things lived deep in the ocean. He built a special and carefully-
designed metal ball called the bathysphere and in it he was lowered 3,028 feet deep into
the dark-colored ocean water. Through a thick glass window in his bathysphere, Dr.
Beebe saw odd-looking fish swimming around his bright-shining ball of metal. They
were deep-sea fish. Many of them were illuminated by weird lights produce by
chemicals actions within their own Bodies. Deep-sea fish have also been found at much
greater depths than that reached by the bathysphere and have been brought up for study
by means of special nets. Great pressure is exerted on the bodies of these because of the
weight of many layers of wáter about them. Nature has adapted their bodies to
withstand this great pressure.
