#deep-sea — Public Fediverse posts

🌋🌊 Deep-sea researchers from the #Ocean Exploration Trust discovered a unique "yellow brick road" formation on the Liliʻuokalani Ridge.

Located over 1,000 meters deep, the rectangular patterns are actually fractured hyaloclastite rock. The volcanic formation helps scientists understand the #marine #ecosystems within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Here are the families of fish and squid that we found on the foraging grounds of cetaceans of Azores.

This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- I bought a bargain second-hand copy of The Rise and Fall of the Ediacaran Biota, published by the Geological Society
- To prove it's not all hardcore science here, I visited my friend's new bookshop in Brixham in Devon and snagged myself a copy of SenLinYu's Alchemised, published by Michael Joseph. If you're in the area, go check out Into the West Bookshop, tell them The Inquisitive Biologist sent you.
- Another second-hand bargain was Cold-Water Corals: The Biology and Geology of Deep-Sea Coral Habitats (yes, these exist!), published by Cambridge University Press.

@mongabay Fascinating!

🌊⚫ The #ocean's midnight zone remains in constant darkness where temperatures stay near freezing and pressures reach 400 atmospheres.

Many species generate their own light or possess oversized jaws to capture rare prey in this high-pressure #environment. #Mammals such as beaked #whales dive into these depths to hunt while other species use red coloration to remain invisible.

The Chambered Nautilus is one of the oldest surviving marine species on Earth, with a lineage that dates back more than 500 million years. Long before dinosaurs existed, these creatures were already drifting through ancient oceans, and remarkably, they have changed very little since then.
Unlike octopuses or squids, the nautilus retains an external shell, divided into chambers that help control buoyancy.

[ANALYSIS] Dr. Andrew D. Thaler once backed deep-sea mining now warns the industry has no "viable path forward." After exploring Papua New Guinea’s seafloor, he argues the fragile biodiversity of hydrothermal vents is too special to decimate for minerals, even those used in renewable energy.

🐟✨ Organisms ranging from deep-sea #predators to #forest #insects produce light through internal chemical reactions. This trait evolved independently across many lineages to assist with hunting and communication in dark environments.

🌊🦑 Sperm #whales consume massive amounts of colossal #squid, but we have rarely seen these giant #animals alive in the deep #ocean.

Researchers are now using environmental #DNA to identify species by filtering genetic material directly from seawater samples. The process helps track known animals and search for unknown organisms.
