Many deep-sea animals are known to exploit patchy food resources such as animal carcasses and sunken plant remains, but the mechanisms by which such foods are located remain generally unknown. The bathyal echinoid Stylocidaris lineata is an omnivorous deposit feeder that ingests sediment, dead animal remains, seagrass blades, and macroalgae such as Sargassum spp. Using a submersible, we investigated the ability of urchins to locate and exploit large falls of detritus.
