🐟 Our new paper is out: "Some like it hot: The enigmatic #Arctic #DeepSea eelpout Pachycara platyrhina thrives at hydrothermal vents."
🔬 For me, this work goes way back to a study visit in 2005 at the Natural History Museum in #Copenhagen, hosted by Peter Rask Møller, who also led this paper! So pleased to see this outcome now 😊! @awi

James Cameron eviscerates the morons behind the #OceanGate sub disaster in a very polite and professional manner.
He's an excellent presenter and explainer. I would have thought he was a scientific authority, rather than a film director, if I didn't know better.

Amazing what you find on the ocean floor.
"ITLU 733016" Found during a dive 1500m deep in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Tiny Ocean Organisms That Could Help The Climate In a Big Way
Stocktrek Images / Getty Images Some of the littlest organisms in the ocean wield incredible influence, both on their ecosystems and on the planet. Like plants do on land, phytoplankton absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide and expel oxygen. They process so much of those two gases, in fact, that they’re responsible for half of the carbon sequestered by photosynthesis worldwide and half of the oxygen in the atmosphere…….Continue reading….

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐛🌊 Scientists have long wondered why no #insects live in the #ocean, often blaming #water pressure.
A new #study found that #larvae of the lake fly Chaoborus edulis dive nearly 260 m in #LakeMalawi using stretchy air sacs powered by the #protein #resilin. This pressure-resisting ability rules out pressure as the barrier, leaving the #mystery unsolved.

Bathynomids are as strange as they get. Giant isopods live at crushing depths of the ocean which can also go about five years without eating. That last part gets even stranger: they can do that because they stole genes from microbes.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🛸🌊 A #NOAA #ROV explores abyssal plains near the #CookIslands in the #SouthPacific, mapping the deep seafloor and #water column with sensors while live streaming nearly daily through August 13. Divers have already spotted carnivorous #sponges that capture small #crustaceans, a surprising find for habitats once thought sparse.

Deep-sea supergiant #isopods last years without food by using a two-part survival system
By combining multi-omics analyses with functional assays, the Chinese researchers discovered that #deepsea isopods have a dual survival strategy to cope with nutrient-poor (oligotrophic) conditions: an enlarged stomach that can store large amounts of food and an extremely low basal metabolic rate (BMR).The stomach of deep-sea isopods occupies about two-thirds of their entire body.

Dr. Steven Haddock discusses how bioluminescent and fluorescent molecules, genes borrowed from jellyfish and others, have become powerful tools in biotech and biomedical research.
From lighting up nervous systems to advancing medical imaging, this conversation shows how nature’s brilliance fuels human innovation.

🐙 At our central HAUSGARTEN station (2500m), we saw a dumbo octopus, snailfish, eelpouts, a stalked jelly, sponges, anemones & soft corals on dropstones; sea lilies, feather stars, starfish, sea cucumbers, scale worms, amphipods in burrows, ctenophores and- unfortunately- many #plastic items proving once again how widespread it has become, even in the #Arctic #DeepSea!

📸 Yesterday, we deployed our sediment profiling camera at the HAUSGARTEN Observatory. It goes into the sediment and takes a photo of the top 21 cm as a profile. Jennifer Dannheim from @awi #DeepSea Group explains that this enables us, for example, to assess the penetration depth of oxygen and 🪱 bioturbation, i.e. burrowing activities of animals inhabiting the sediments, much like earthworms in soil. #PS155 #Arctic

🏇Another working horse in marine science and at our #HAUSGARTEN observatory is the multicorer, with which we can take undisturbed sediment samples for biological, geological, biogeochemical and pollution (e.g. #microplastic) analyses, as explained by Ingo Schewe @awi #DeepSea Group. @helmholtz

#Microplastics reach even 2,000 meters below the #ocean surface, study finds first cross-ocean study reveals how microplastics accumulate in #deepSea #hydrothermalVent animals
Microplastics detected in 92% of deep-sea #animals collected from hydrothermal vents more than 2,000 meters below the ocean surface -
📷🎥 Two days ago, we deployed our #deepsea camera OFOBS again at our station off the east Greenland slope at 2500 m depth.
🪨 We saw plenty of (big) dropstones, sponges and fish 🐟 such as Paraliparis cf. bathybius and the eelpout Lycodes frigidus. #PS155 #Arctic

Stunning video footage recorded by a #submarine in 4000m depth around some hot springs. 😯
It starts with my favorite creature from that clip. 🤩

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦈👁️ #Greenland sharks can live for 400 years and scientists long thought they were functionally blind.
A new study shows these #sharks may retain useful vision thanks to a #DNA repair mechanism that protects their retinas from age-related damage. The work could inform #research on age-related vision loss in #humans.

Weighing An Octopus Starts With a Laundry Basket
Image: Robin Riggs Just like nurses ask patients to step on the scale at their annual checkup, weight is an important metric in animal healthcare. Measuring some animals’ weight, however, isn’t as straightforward as it is for human patients. The team at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, has devised a great approach for their Giant pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) named Glinda.......Continue reading...
