How are the whales, otters and seal lions doing? What lurks in the deep waters along the Northern California coast? Did you ever see a catshark? Or a Pacific blackdragon? Just offshore in the Monterey Bay is a mysterious deep sea realm called Monterey Canyon. Monterey Bay Aquarium has collected over 40 species of animals that live in the canyon. Get a peek at some of them at the website listed below. Randy Kochevar received his Ph.D.from UC Santa Barbara where he studied the physiology of deep sea hydrothermal vent and hydrocarbon seep organisms. He went on to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), where he accepted a Research Scientist position. Randy served as the team leader of the Deep Sea Research and Development program, as well as the Life Sciences representative on the core exhibit development team for "Mysteries of the Deep." He is currently in charge of Science Communications for the aquarium.
