👉 The halo fluid, also known as halo water or halo brine, is a unique and highly saline solution found in the vicinity of hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. These vents release superheated, mineral-rich water that mixes with cold seawater, creating a plume of halo fluid characterized by extremely high salinity and low temperature gradients. This fluid is crucial for the chemosynthetic ecosystems surrounding these vents, providing essential nutrients and energy sources for specialized microorganisms and larger organisms like tube worms and crabs that thrive in these extreme conditions.
