Active thermal vents of the Piip submarine volcano were studied in 1990 from aboard sub­mersibles MIR 1 and 2. Samples of free gas and hydrothermal deposits were collected in the areas of thermal fluid discharge. Mineralogical, isotopic and microprobe studies of samples have shown, as the hydrothermal system cools, the high-temperature anhydrite association displayed at the surface is substituted by calcite-barite and later by calcite-barite-sulfide assemblages. The chemical and isotopic composition of gas and carbonates indicates the significant role of hydrocarbons from the sedimentary layers which, during the low-temperature stage, stimulate the processes of bacterial sulphate reduction. The evolution of a simular hydrothermal system is traced in the Great Caucasus barite deposits.

Sulphur-isotopic composition of soft tissues from Bathymodiolusmarisindicus collected from hydrothermal vents in the Indian Ocean was reported. The δ34S values of the soft tissues (+3∼+5‰ vs Cañyon Diablo troilite) were nearly identical to those from the associated hydrothermal fluid and chimney sulphides (+5 to +8‰), but were significantly different from that of the common seawater sulphate (+21‰), which suggested that the endosymbiotic bacteria used sulphide in the fluid as an energy source. Transmission electron microscopic observation of the endosymbionts also suggested that the symbiont is a thioautotroph. Bathymodiolus species, which depend on either sulphide or methane oxidation, or both, have a worldwide distribution. Bathymodiolus marisindicus from the Indian Ocean has a close relationship with congeners in the Pacific Ocean as evidenced by form of symbiosis. Biogeography and migration of the genus Bathymodiolus based on the relevant data are briefly discussed.

Oloncholaimus piipi gen. et sp. nov. is described from Piip submarine volcano, the Bering Sea. Oloncholaimus gen. nov. shows all main characters of Oncholaiminae: females monodelphic-prodelphic with antidromously reflexed ovary, three teeth with left ventrosublateral the largest, oncholaimoid type of Demanian system. New genus can be differentiated from all other genera of the family Oncholaimidae by the complex shape of dorsal and right ventrosublateral teeth with apical antler-shaped extension. Oloncholaimus piipi sp. nov. has large body (5960–7045 μm), six outer labial and four cephalic setae equal in size (5–7 μm), equal spicules (110–131 μm long) without gubernaculum, and complex precloacal supplementary organ composed of 8–9 cylindrical processes.

Ekspedisi INDEX-SATAL 2010 telah mengungkapkan fenomena aktivitas hidrotermal di bawah perairan barat Kepulauan Sangihe pada Gunungapi Bawah Laut Kawio Barat dengan puncaknya yang berada pada kedalaman laut sekitar 1860 m dan kakinya pada kedalaman sekitar 5400 m. Penyelaman ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) Little Hercules di Gunungapi Kawio Barat yang dipusatkan di sisi baratlaut dari puncak gunung menyapu mulai kedalaman 3000 m hingga menuju ke arah puncak pada kedalaman 1860 m. Kelompok batuan dicirikan oleh bongkahan lava yang sudah pecah ditutupi sedimen halus berwarna abu-abu cerah; sedangkan pada sisi tenggara umumnya ditempati aliran lava bantal. Pada sisi baratdaya, tempat lembah dalam menoreh Gunungapi Kawio Barat dijumpai kepulan asap dari lereng bagian bawah yang akhirnya pada kedalaman sekitar 1890 m dijumpai aktivitas hidrotermal bawah laut yang merupakan suatu fenomena yang pertama kali direkam langsung dari bawahlaut perairan Indonesia. Fenomena yang terekam berupa pemunculan asap (smokers) di sepanjang rekahan (fissures), dicirikan oleh warna asap yang bervariasi dari putih, kuning atau abu-abu cerah yang kemungkinan menunjukkan indikasi perbedaan komposisi kimiawi dari fluida hidrotermal. Selain asap, teramati juga adanya gelembung cairan (panas) atau bubbles dari rekahan. Penemuan baru lainnya adalah adanya fluida hidrotermal muncul ke permukaan dan membentuk suatu cerobong hidrotermal atau chimney di daerah yang secara tektonik dikontrol oleh konvergensi lempeng. Batuan-batuan di sekitar rekahan hidrotermal (hydrothermal vent) umumnya telah terubah dengan dominasi warna putih hingga kelabu. Di sekitar rekahan hidrotermal diendapkan belerang berwarna kuning kehitaman. Mineralisasi kemungkinan terjadi di sekitar cerobong hidrotermal, terakumulasi membentuk endapan mineral yang ditunjukkan oleh warna coklat, abu-abu, dan kemerahan. Hal ini terutama teramati di sekitar cerobong yang sudah tidak mengeluarkan gelembung atau asap, serta dijumpai kehadiran endapan serakan butiran batuan atau mineral berwarna coklat atau hitam. Kata kunci: INDEX-SATAL 2010, aktivitas hidrotermal, ROV, asap hidrotermal, gelembung cairan, cerobong hidrotermal, konvergensi lempeng, mineralisasi INDEX-SATAL Expedition 2010 has revealed the phenomenon of hydrothermal activity in the western part of the Sangihe Waters in Kawio Barat Submarine Volcano with the peak which is located at 1860 m depths and the bottom at about 5400 m depths. A ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) "Little Hercules" dive in Kawio Barat was centered on the northwest side of the mountain began to sweep from the depths of 3000 m toward the top of 1860 m depths. The lithologic unit is characterized by the present of broken lavas covered with fine grey colored sediment whilist in the southeast side is composed of pillows lavas. In the southwest side, in which the deep valleys incise Kawio Barat, a clouds of smoke from the lower slopes are observed; finally at 1890 m depths a submarine hydrothermal activity is noted. This phenomenon represents the first submarine direct record made from the bottom of the Indonesian Waters. Those smokers phenomena are recorded along fissures, characterized by various colors of white, yellow to grey due to different chemical composition of hydrothermal fluids. Besides, the hot bubbles are also arised from the fissures. The other new discovery is the presence of hydrothermal chimney in the area of tectonically controlled by convergence plates. Rocks surrounding the hydrothermal vents are generally altered giving grey to white colors and the presence of dark yellow sulfur deposits. Mineralization may occur and accumulated in hydrothermal chimney and its surrounding to form brown-, grey-, and reddish- color deposits The latter are commonly found in inactive chimneys, indicated by the presence of dispersed brown and black color grains/chips of both sedimentary rocks or minerals as well.
