Do you ever feel like somebody's watching you? This goosefish — with a wide, flat head, gaping mouth, and an abundance of patience — belongs to the family Lophiidae, which are ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes. #uruguaysub200

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?”
Wow. Foraminifera! ROV pilots paused and carefully zoomed in to collect footage of these single-celled microorganisms, or protists, at 843 m during the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition w/ @schmidtsciences.bsky.social offshore of Argentina. Read the full caption: youtube.com/shorts/Yv_ud...
Carbon transport, by squid This is a Teuthowenia pellucida, according to Rachel Chen, from the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors team. After glass squids make the daily trip to surface waters to feed, they return to depths, transferring carbon from the surface ocean to the deep sea.
Lobster eats crab — no butter required 🧈🦀🧈 Argentinian fans dubbed these rose-tinted crustaceans “Barbie lobsters,” and while that is not their scientific name, we are here for it! The team suspects they are Thymops birsteini, filmed at 538 m. Credit: ROV SuBastian / Schmidt Ocean Institute
Sea squirts & squid! ROV pilots filmed these salps and spectacular squid during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition with @oceancensus.bsky.social in early 2025. Salps, also known as sea squirts, are ubiquitous throughout the Ocean, and abundant in the Southern Ocean.
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.
During Dive 878, the #ArgentinianDeepSeeps science team studied & sampled an active pockmark on the seafloor, where liquids & gases were escaping. Their goal: the first & most comprehensive exploration of cold seeps, one of the least-studied deep-ocean ecosystems in SW Atlantic.
A so-fish-ticated catshark, of the freckled variety! Scyliorhinus haeckelii are common fr Bahia Brazil to northern Argentina. Freckled catshark live along the continental shelf as deep as 400 m. Filmed at 202 m, offshore of Uruguay and the Rio del Plata during the #AsgardArchaea expedition.

Tiny copepods: Big impact! This is likely a Lophothrix, a ~5 mm copepod. For 30 years, Dr. David Fields (@bigelowlab.bsky.social) says copepods are ubiquitous throughout the ocean; they've adapted to live in many different environments — from mangrove trees to the Antarctic seafloor.
