Bloody-belly comb jellies, Lampocteis cruentiventer, are #ctenophores, not true jellies. Like other comb jellies, they navigate through the water by beating their shimmering, hair-like cilia. These crimson beauties are found in the twilight zone, using their blood-red stomachs to hide a belly full of glowing (bioluminescent) prey. At these depths, red is nearly invisible, turning their vibrant color into the perfect camouflage.⁠ ⁠

Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 🦠🦐
There were recent articles about a new #species Bathydevius caudactylus, nicknamed Mystery Mollusc. In fact this bioluminescent pelagic #nudibranch has been studied by friends at #MBARI for 20 yrs to describe it. Most "sea slugs" are benthic, but this one swims in the deep #ocean midwater, using a bag-like hood to capture prey. The name incorporates devious (hard to find) and dactylus (refering to "finger" projections on the foot). #science

Season 1 Episode 9: Bioluminescence: The Soft Glow of the Deep Sea, With Dr Steve Haddock

[Technically this was episode 7 and @arielkroon messed up her numbering, but we're going to pretend that didn't happen]

ou don't have to be a solarpunk—or a lunarpunk—to dream of bioluminescence, from twinkling phytoplankton to glowing lamps, phosphorescent fungi, and jellyfish lit up like space ships. To honor those dreams, Christina talked to Dr. Steve Haddock, Senior Scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and leading expert on the things that glow, flash, and train headlights through the dark waters of the deep sea. Join us for this conversation about how bioluminescence works, what critters are capable of it and what they use it for, and whether or not our visions of bioluminescent street lamps stand a chance of coming true.

You can also follow Steve Haddock on X @beroe and learn more about bioluminescence at biolum.eemb.ucsb.edu/.

Advanced underwater robots discover #DeepSea #squid that broods giant eggs

Giant eggs in a deep-sea squid esajournals.onlinelibrary.wile

"#MBARI researchers had previously observed deep-sea #squids brooding their eggs, but this sighting was striking because the eggs were twice as large as those of other brooding deep-sea squids... this individual likely represents an unknown species of the family of #Gonatidae and one that broods giant eggs."

Skyrocketing #ocean temps have scientists scratching their heads, "it’s looking like it’s already June out there"
Oceans steadily warmed over decades, absorbing ~90% of extra heat humans have added to the atmosphere. “The oceans are our saviors, in a way,” says #oceanographer #FranciscoChavez of #MBARI “Things might be a lot worse in terms of #climate impacts, because a lot of that heat is not only kept at the surface, it’s taken to depths.”
