The strength and stiffness of the aragonite shell of the nautilus permits it to
act as a constant-volume hydrostatic apparatus that enables the nautilus
tomaintain neutral buoyancy. The gas diffuses into the chambers via the
siphuncular tube as cameral water is removed from behind the recently
completed last septum of the growing shell. Because the equilibrium gas
pressures in the ocean are largely independent of water depth, there is no
difference in the final gas pressure of chambers grown at different depths.
The imagery of the nautilus aptly reflects ourCompany’s ability to endure
external challenging pressures and remain stable and resilient at its core.
