The discovery in 1977 of active hydrothermal venting and associated mineralization at the seafloor spreading center of the Galápagos (Corlisset al., 1979) initiated extensive surveys of global ridge crests. Hydrothermal systems associated with ocean spreading centers are now recognized as a relatively common phenomenon and are thus one of the most actively researched topics in geology, biology, and geochemistry. The morphology, mineralization, and fluid chemistry of the active systems in spreading centers have been reviewed (e.g., Barrett and Jambor, 1988; Rona, 1988; Ronaet al., 1983; Von Damm, 1990) and related to ancient deposits (e.g., Franklinet al., 1981; Scott, 1985). Other nonrift areas with analogous hydrothermal systems are tectonically active subduction zones, fracture zones, and back-arc basins. The active seafloor systems are a major niche for fauna carrying out chemosynthetic biochemistry. This and the characterization of new species is now a main topic in biology (e.g., Jones, 1985; Childress, 1988; Grassle, 1985).
