The Abyss Box is a vessel containing 16 litres (3.5 imp gal; 4.2 US gal) of water at the very high pressure of 18 megapascals to simulate the natural underwater environment of bathyal fauna living at about 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) below the surface. It is on display at Oceanopolis aquarium in Brest, France. It was designed by French researcher Bruce Shillito from Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris.

  • L'Abyss Box est un aquarium contenant 16 litres d'eau à la très haute pression de 300 bars. Elle a été conçue pour simuler l'environnement sous-marin de la zone bathypélagique, afin d'héberger des animaux vivant à l'état naturel à environ 1 800 m sous la surface de l'eau. Elle est exposée à l'Océanopolis de Brest, et a été conçue par le chercheur français Bruce Shillito de l'Université Pierre et Marie Curie à Paris, en partenariat avec l'Ifremer. (fr)

  • The Abyss Box is a vessel containing 16 litres (3.5 imp gal; 4.2 US gal) of water at the very high pressure of 18 megapascals to simulate the natural underwater environment of bathyal fauna living at about 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) below the surface. It is on display at Oceanopolis aquarium in Brest, France. It was designed by French researcher Bruce Shillito from Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris. All the equipment maintaining the extreme pressure inside the Abyss Box weighs 600 kilograms (1,300 lb). The device keeps deep-dwelling creatures alive so they can be studied, especially regarding their adaptability to warmer ocean temperatures. Currently the Abyss Box houses only common species of deep sea creatures including a deep sea crab, and a deep sea prawn, Pandalus borealis, which are some of the hardier species with a higher survival rate in depressurized environments.

Derrière le hublot de 15 cm de large, les visiteurs ont pu observer des crevettes et des crabes de sources hydrothermales. Ces animaux ont réussi, pour la première fois, à survivre plus de 3 ans en captivité. (fr)
