The animals living near hydrothermal vents and cold-seeps experience environmental conditions which are challenging for respiration (little oxygen, presence of large amounts of sulfide and carbon dioxide ). We used polychaetes from these two environments: Alvinella pompejana, from the hot part of the hydrothermal vent ecosystem, Branchipolynoe spp., commensal with the mussels found in the cold part of hydrothermal vents and an orbiniid from the Gulf of Mexico cold-seeps. We investigated the anatomical and physiological adaptations facilitating gas exchange in these three species. The anatomical adaptations are an increase of the gill surface area and a decrease of the diffusion distance at the level of these gas exchange organs. Branchipoly...
