that maintains a much higher internal pressure to simulate the pressures at oceanic depths, so as to keep deep water critters alive? Sure, you'd have to have some sort of 'reverse airlock' anytime you'd want to put anything in the tanks, but you'd think it might be something useful to have for study purposes...
