摘要：
Seamounts are manifestations of crustal tectonics and volcanism, and are also sites of biodiversity and hydrothermal events. Although the population of seamounts is estimated to be in thousands, a large number of these have not been thoroughly studied. Globally, several seamounts are being exploited by the fishery industries, whereas a few have been demarcated for conservation and serve as underwater observatories. We provide a summary of the seamounts related to their discovery, distribution, nature and influence in the marine environment. In addition, we review the findings of seamounts in the Indian Ocean and the need to have a multi-disciplinary approach to explore them.
