The Deep-Sea Chemosymbiotic Clam Archivesica marissinica is a species of deep-sea clam in the family Vesicomyidae, commonly found at the Haima cold seep on the northwest continental slope of the South China Sea. This species is well-adapted to extreme environments and relies on symbiotic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria housed in its gills for nutrition. Archivesica marissinica plays a significant role in cold seep ecosystems by contributing to nutrient cycling and supporting diverse microbial and faunal communities.
