## Abstract Forty species of aquatic animals belonging to 14 phyla of various levels of organic complexity were examined with reference to their ability to survive increasing hydrostatic pressure. The results of these experiments lead us to seriously question the commonly stated and often quoted hy

Abstract
A survey of the pressure resistance of aquatic animals in different stages of their life cycle shows that adults generally are more tolerant of pressure than the egg and nauplii, but older adults appear less pressure resistant than younger adults. Data on many species of aquatic animals of different size shows no correlation between size and pressure resistance. It is concluded that size is not a special determinant in the successful deepβsea colonization of shallowβwater animals and this is consonant with the fact of occasional large deepβsea species whereas the average size is quite small in comparison with littoral species.

## Abstract Hydrostatic pressure (HP) is an important component of the loading environment of the knee joint. Studies with articular chondrocytes and TMJ disc fibrochondrocytes have identified certain benefits of HP for tissue engineering purposes. However, similar studies with meniscus cells are l
