These hot underwater geysers can be found along deep mid-ocean ridges

Production

Though there is no sunlight there are still producers in vent ecosystems

Hydrothermal Vent Producers

  • Most producers appear in the form of chemosynthetic bacteria
  • These bacteria are commonly found in the bodies of other organisms
  • And as the bacteria produces energy, the energy is shared with its host
