New Invention Keeps Deep-Sea Creatures Alive at Surface
June 06, 2018 - This is the Submersible Chamber of Ascending Specimens…or SubCAS for short. It’s a pressurized chamber designed to safely bring deep-sea fish to the surface. When deep-dwelling fish ascend several hundred feet, the change in pressure damages their swim bladders. The SubCAS works to correct this rapid change in pressure. Scientist will now be able to study these previously hard-to-reach fish in a controlled environment.

This is the Submersible Chamber of Ascending Specimens …
Or SubCAS for short.
It’s a pressurized chamber designed to safely bring deep-sea fish to the surface.
When deep-dwelling fish ascend several hundred feet, the change in pressure damages their swim bladders.
The SubCAS works to correct this rapid change in pressure.
Scientist will now be able to study these previously hard-to-reach fish in a controlled environment.
