Why? Bacteria and such can be quite resilient and evolve. I mean we also have some eels migrate to near the mid ocean even to this day. Some speculate that this is because they used to breed there before the rapid divide of continents..not that long ago.If so, everything should die off.
Wikipedia is your friend:
"Chemosynthetic bacteria and archaea form the base of the food chain, supporting diverse organisms, including giant tube worms, clams, limpets and shrimp."
"The chemosynthetic bacteria grow into a thick mat which attracts other organisms, such as amphipods and copepods, which graze upon the bacteria directly. Larger organisms, such as snails, shrimp, crabs, tube worms, fish (especially eelpout, cutthroat eel, ophidiiforms and Symphurus thermophilus), and octopi (notably Vulcanoctopus hydrothermalis), form a food chain of predator and prey relationships above the primary consumers."
If nature changed at about the same time as the rapid continental move, then creatures could have adapted quickly. Therefore it would NOT have been fatal then.OK. More species are there.
But my question still stand there. Why do they want to stay there at the first place? Fishes can move fast. Don't tell me fishes can not escape the fatal environment quick enough.
Yes, I know what "want" means, and I know quite a lot about evolution, and I know that the two have nothing to do with one another. I don't know how you got the bizarre idea that wanting has anything to do with evolution, but your belief has nothing to do with reality.
The environment is not fatal for those fish. They do just fine there. Just because an environment would be fatal for you doesn't mean it's intrinsically bad.But my question still stand there.

Do you think wood wants to burn? Do you think trees want to fall down when a hurricane hits? Do you think winds want to blow?

As far as I know, the fish aren't in the hot water, but are instead nearby. In any case, they're comfortable in whatever temperature water they're in.No. But I do think fishes WANT to avoid hot volcanic water.

I'm trying to get at the roots of your deep misunderstanding of evolution.You are forcing me to spell some trivia. Shame.
That's not what "want" means. "Want" in contemporary English means "has a desire for". Living things do not have a desire for their offspring to have certain mutations. (There's an archaic meaning for "want" as well, which is "need", but that doesn't apply either. Organisms also don't need the mutations that open up new niches for them, since they're generally already successful the way they are.I (or any life) WANT something, because that thing helps me to survive better.
Because there is some resource there that isn't elsewhere or isn't as common elsewhere. Maybe there's more food there because other fish can't stand being there. Could be nesting grounds, could be something else too.OK. More species are there.

Are you still under the impression that you've found a problem with evolution?

What, no actual response? You're copping out of the debate because you lost, and now you're attacking me personally to make it seem like you've won.Do not cheat yourself. Go away from evolution.
juvenissun, I told you how various organisms evolve into ones that fit a particular niche, like a hydrothermal vent. It's not clear what problem you think there is with this explanation, since your only challenge to it involves a misuse of English.Definitely. You can not answer the question.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Eels-the-Oddest-Migration-for-Sex-73420.shtmlPlease show me the information. Thanks.
Definitely. You can not answer the question. I don't have much hope for others.
Thanks (although I'm pretty sure I'm a guy).sfs answered your question repeatedly. Maybe you should start listing to her since she is a Geneticist and actually knows what she's talking about unlike you.
