Brief Gigantura chuni down by the seafloor @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 954 #deepwonders #MarineLife
This just in: Absolutely stunning shot of Gigantura chuni from SOI dive S953! @schmidtocean.bsky.social #DeepWondersOfTrinidadAndTobago
Alepisaurus Ferox @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 951 part 2 #deepwonders #MarineLife
Chiroteuthis (squid squad says looks C. mega) @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 927 #Doldrums #MarineLife
That's an odd siphonophore. Where did all the feeding polyps go & why does it have multiple tentacles like that? Some kind of Apolemia? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 927 part 3 #Doldrums #MarineLife
My fish prson says this is the first Winteria in situ! I have waited 11 yrs to see a barreleye on a dive. It's my top bucket list fish. Worth every second! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 924 #Doldrums #MarineLife
so i'm pretty sure ROV SuBastian bumped into an anglerfish of some sort, might be an oneirodid. Too bad we didn't manage to get a good zoom on it @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive S919 #DesigningtheFuture3
Fantastic looking larval fish! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 916 #DesigningtheFuture3 #MarineLife
New Gigantura observation!! A two-fer! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 916 #DesigningtheFuture3 #MarineLife
From 1,750–2,000 m deep, we collected one of the rarest deepsea fishes out there: a one-jaw eel (family Monognathidae). Only ~100 specimens of this group are known worldwide and we hold the largest collection (~46), most just a few inches long… The one we collected though, 6 inches or 154 mm!
ROV SuBastian pilots need raises because CAN YOU SEE IT?! ROV SuBastian in the eye of this Taningia! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 871 #asgardarchaea #MarineLife
New paper titled ‘Functional novelties and behavioural flexibility underpin diversification of the surgeonfish feeding mechanism’. 🐟🐠 link: doi.org/10.1098/rspb...
Had someone from SOI DM me to tell me had it not been for us in chat noticing the colossal was diff, & contacting the squid squad for them, it may have taken a while before they realized they filmed 1! Amazing example of what happens when you include citizen scientists from shore & work together! 👏🥳
this just happened. apparently Ifremer folks saw a Lophodolos during a dive in 2021
