Yes, and IJLS "whale fall"*. And "chemoautotrophic whale-fall community".

Thomas Prufer



* "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A whale fall occurs when the carcass of a whale has fallen onto the ocean floor at a depth greater than 1,000 m (3,300 ft), in the bathyal or abyssal zones.[1] On the sea floor, these carcasses can create complex localized ecosystems that supply sustenance to deep-sea organisms for decades.[1] This is unlike in shallower waters, where a whale carcass will be consumed by scavengers over a relatively short period of time. Whale falls were first observed in the late 1970s with the development of deep-sea robotic exploration.[2] Since then, several natural and experimental whale falls have been monitored[1][3] through the use of observations from submersibles and remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) in order to understand patterns of ecological succession on the deep seafloor.[4]

Yep - 42 of them, as a matter of fact.
