1. Deep Sea and International Waters

 A. Species Present

 .5 - 1 million species estimated;
Macroscopic - mostly billfishes, cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises), seabirds, sharks, and tunas
Microscopic - mostly planktons (phytoplankton [photosynthesis-dependent], zooplankton, baceteriaplakton
Deep sea coral reefs support "diverse assemblages of marine life"

 B. Fished Species

 Concentrate effort on finding effects on climate change for these: 

Atlantic

Roundnouse Grenadier (Coryphaenoides rupestris, Macrouridae)
Alfonsinos
 ling (Molva molva, Lotidae)
blue ling (M. dypterygia, Lotidae)
