Huge mussel bed found on a mud volcano offshore #Trinidad. The mussels work in symbiosis with chemosynthetic bacteria that convert energy from the methane gas released from the mud volcano fissure. They do not convert energy via photosynthesis. It is way too deep for sunlight to reach. This mud volcano was found by the Nautilus research vessel. On board is Trinidadian scientist Dr Judith Gobin!
