中开曼扩散中心是加勒比海的一个超低扩散脊。它的极端深度和与其他洋中脊的地理隔离,为研究压力对热液喷口的影响以及喷口动物群的生物地理学提供了见解。在这里,我们报告在中开曼扩张中心发现了两个热液喷口。Von Damm喷口田位于海底2300米深处的一个海洋岩心复合体的上斜坡上。在这种离轴环境下的高温排气表明,排气场的全球发生率可能被低估了。在开曼群岛中部扩张中轴线的4960米深处,Beebe喷口气田释放出富含铜的流体和上升1100米的浮力羽流,与世界上已知最深的热液系统的bbbb400°C喷发相一致。在这两个地点,一种新的形态种类的阿尔文卡里氏虾占据了动物群的主导地位,这与大西洋中部的喷口相似。中开曼扩散中心是加勒比海一个超低扩散的洋中脊。本研究揭示了海脊上的两个热液喷口,其中包括离轴海洋核杂岩上的高温喷口,与大西洋中部喷口相似,在两个喷口上都有常见的虾类。
The Mid-Cayman spreading centre is an ultraslow-spreading ridge in the Caribbean Sea. Its extreme depth and geographic isolation from other mid-ocean ridges offer insights into the effects of pressure on hydrothermal venting, and the biogeography of vent fauna. Here we report the discovery of two hydrothermal vent fields on the Mid-Cayman spreading centre. The Von Damm Vent Field is located on the upper slopes of an oceanic core complex at a depth of 2,300 m. High-temperature venting in this off-axis setting suggests that the global incidence of vent fields may be underestimated. At a depth of 4,960 m on the Mid-Cayman spreading centre axis, the Beebe Vent Field emits copper-enriched fluids and a buoyant plume that rises 1,100 m, consistent with >400 °C venting from the world's deepest known hydrothermal system. At both sites, a new morphospecies of alvinocaridid shrimp dominates faunal assemblages, which exhibit similarities to those of Mid-Atlantic vents. The Mid-Cayman Spreading Centre is an ultraslow-spreading mid-ocean ridge in the Caribbean. This study reveals two hydrothermal vent fields on the ridge, including high-temperature vents on an off-axis oceanic core complex where, similar to Mid-Atlantic vents, an alvinocaridid shrimp is common at both vent fields.
