How are deep sea animals able to withstand the tremendous water pressure in the ocean?

Question by Matt C: How are deep sea animals able to withstand the tremendous water pressure in the ocean?
It takes special materials to assemble a deep sea diving vessel capable of holding against deep sea water pressure, yet organisms inhabiting this zone are able to do so naturally. I don't understand the biological mechanism that allows this.

Answer by Irv S
Think just a bit. " It takes special materials to assemble a deep sea diving vessel",
because that vessel must carry air at 'surface' pressures within it.
Deep sea animals are mostly non-compressible fluid, and don't even 'feel'
pressure changes at all.

These creatures were filmed in the deep sea between 1000/5000 meters deep and most of them are completely new species discovered with a new submarine which was used for the first time to make this documentary.

Introduction to the Deep Sea Environment

The Deep Sea Environment In this essay we shall discuss several aspects of the deep sea environment. The main focus will be on the environment below the Mesopelagic Zone that extends down to 2000 meters below sea level with an emphasis on the environment in the Bathypelagic and Abyssalpelagic Zones.

We will examine the sources of evidence for a discussion of this deep sea environment by looking at some of the techniques man uses to gather information there. This will be followed by a description of some of the determining conditions in these regions with a note on
