It may look as if this little one is practicing their dance moves — slow-slow-quick-quick — but we’re pretty sure fish can’t dance. It's more likely this bellowfish, or Notopogon sp., is taking advantage of snacks in the sediments, stirred up by the ROV's robotic arm during #uruguaysub200.

All ink, no stink! Squid ink is a natural, dark-viscous fluid primarily composed of melanin pigment, mucus & water — like a deep-sea smoke screen for a hasty getaway. These ink-blob shapes are called pseudomorphs. Filmed during #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition w/@schmidtsciences.bsky.social.
🌊 Marvels in the midwater 🌊 ROV pilots zoomed in on this siphonophore at 755 meters during a recent #OBVI #LivingBioreactors dive offshore of Brazil, offering a breathtaking glimpse of a colonial animal comprised of zooids working in concert to survive and thrive in the deep Ocean.

Riding High! During the #ArgentinianDeepSeeps expedition, ROV pilots captured footage of a tiny animal, likely a crustacean, riding a jellyfish like a surfboard. Jellyfish = protection w/their stinging tentacles & access to food while traveling & “shooting the curl” (as surfers would say).
A bustling seafloor scene from the #taleof2canyons expedition: “We studied how these canyons can facilitate such incredible biodiversity,” said Chief Scientist Dr. Silvia Ines Romero. “What are the mechanisms — the currents and the chemistry — that support all of this life?”
Jaw-dropping jellyfish, Poralia sp, 1,414m (ID, Dr. Anela Choy) “There are many mysteries to uncover,” Choy writes. “But perhaps this beautiful brownish, reddish medusae has a unique role to play in connecting carbon flow between the deep water column with the seafloor.” #OBVI #LivingBioreactors

“Like a firefly in the middle of a field filled with noise, its shining, latent light within, a tiny bell, small and soundless. I fade away so that you may lose yourself. I fold myself into my wings.” Poem by Pedro Serrano, trans. by Don Cellini. Psychedelic jellyfish, #argentiniandeepseeps, 3804 m

Former NJ AG Matt Platkin: They’re indicting the SPLC for allegedly misusing donor funds to infiltrate and disrupt white supremacist networks by paying informants. Now they’re turning around and they’re going to take $1.8 billion of public money not to disrupt those networks, but to fund them.
