Abstract
Organic islands represented by whale carcass and wood logs provide organic enrichment which is essential to the deep-sea ecosystems. The high availability of energy provided throughout the stages of organic matter degradation attracts a dense community of opportunistic organisms and specialists in these environments and supports the development of sulfide niches. Due to the heterogeneity …

Abstract
Whale carcasses are frequent in migrating route areas given the higher mortality indices within these areas. These carcasses promote organic enrichment which is essential to the deep sea, therefore supporting a dense community of opportunist organisms that are specialists in this type of environment. The large availability of food resources created by the carcass develops into a condition…
