  1. 🐟 ICYMI: A bathtub-sized #ocean #sunfish visits floating #kelp where hungry halfmoon #fish eat away more than 40 kinds of parasites clinging to its skin. After this mutual cleaning session, the giant fish rests on its side near the surface to soak up warmth from the sun before making deep, chilly feeding dives.

  2. Petits pêcheurs contre géants des mers : qui aura encore sa place en Bretagne ? 🎣

    La pêche bretonne traverse une crise profonde. Derrière les difficultés économiques, l'épuisement des ressources et l'exploitation des travailleurs, c'est tout un modèle qui est ébranlé.

    Entre pêche artisanale et pêche industrielle, une « bataille des mers » se joue dans les ports. Elle participe d'un phénomène de concentration et accentue la pression sur les écosystèmes. 1/

  3. In ’s Expedition: , it’s all hands on deck
    Narrated by Auli’i Cravalho (Moana), dives into how race to understand world’s changing waters, to document and mitigate ’s impacts on and coastal habitats.
    Offering a window into scientists’ wonder and joy in their work as they discover new life forms in Southern Ocean, or successfully nurture young corals in Indian Ocean.

  4. Deep in the dark, this fish carries its own fishing rod. 🎣 The female anglerfish dangles a glowing lure — lit by symbiotic bacteria — to draw prey close to a mouthful of needle teeth. In the deep sea, the males are tiny and fuse to a female for life.

  5. This experiment demonstrates nicely why ocean alkalinity enhancement can only go so fast: dump too much, and you'll start precipitating minerals, and the addition will be stripped from the system.

  7. This tiny sea slug is a real-life dragon — and it steals weapons from its prey. 🐉

    The blue dragon (Glaucus atlanticus) is just 3 cm long, floats upside-down on the ocean surface, and eats Portuguese man o' war — then stores their stinging cells in its finger-like cerata to sting anything that tries to eat it. Sometimes its sting hurts worse than the jellyfish it stole it from.

  8. An octopus has three hearts — and two of them stop beating every time it swims. 🐙 Two pump blood to the gills, one to the rest of the body. Swimming is so exhausting that the main heart pauses, which is why octopuses mostly crawl along the seafloor instead.

  9. 🐋 NEW: The #fiberoptic cables that carry global #internet traffic also register vibrations from #sound, including #whale calls.

    Researchers are testing whether existing cables, using sensing techniques that read tiny changes in light, can serve as listening stations for #marine #mammals. The approach could expand whale monitoring across large stretches of #ocean without installing new instruments.

  10. Feather star, a graceful marine invertebrate related to sea stars & sea urchins. Crinoids are the oldest living echinoderms, dating back over 500 million years. So abundant in ancient seas, their fossilized stem segments formed entire limestone layers called encrinites. #wildlife #biology #evolution #nature #ocean

  12. [Two Unspoiled Islets] Off the coast of the Pacific, the coral #atolls of Bikar and Bokak—designated last year as the Marshall Islands’ first national marine #sanctuary — are home to #ecosystems that are both teeming with life and fragile, preserved from human influence — or almost entirely so. These are examples we can draw on to properly restore ocean ecosystems destroyed by human activities... sciencealert.com/scientists-di
