International Waters' Deep Sea Stunning Biodiversity | Nautilus Live

Fans of deep sea biodiversity, it’s your lucky day because this highlight video is over thirteen minutes of some of the best sights spotted during our H1993 dive of the NA153 expedition to explore the deep seas near Johnston Atoll. Whether you’re especially interested in crustaceans like the “weird” Polychelidae slipper lobster or passionate about deep sea fishes like the rattfish and halosaur, this video will certainly deliver. Enjoy an extra large and thick bamboo coral taller than ROV Hercules, translucent pink sea cucumber, and even a deep sea lava tunnel spotted on the rocky seafloor.
Spot Gorgonocephalus basket stars, a juvenile Chaunocops anglerfish, and bright red stalked crinoids and enjoy some gorgeous views from both ROV Hercules and ROV Atalanta as it oversees Herc explore the seafloor. Fans of the Venus flytrap sea anemone (Actinoscyphia aurelia) and Anthomastus sp. mushroom corals don’t worry, you’re also covered! Explore this wonderful region beyond US national jurisdiction but close to the Pacific Remote Island Marine National Monument with us and let us know which sighting is your favorite!

Please neverstop...this footage and commentary are so needed right now. as an actual antidote to the bewildering madness that is taking place on the land above the Ocean.

[@aela5521]

What’s going on??

[@teenmomAT14toRN]

I agree please don't, you bring so many of us to our happy place in the midst of all the darkness. We are here for it. The innocence of nature. We love the commentary no matter how nerdy. ❤❤❤

[@sandyaw3057]

@paulwolstenhome1673 ..Exactly this! It seems like the madness began with the pandemic. These videos gives me such inner peace.

[@angelitabecerra]

3:21 Whomever started singing the "Secret Tunnel" song from Avatar: The Last Airbender; you're my new favorite person 🤗

[@captvalstrax]

3:23 You can't hide your ATLA references from me!

[@peggedyourdad9560]

I can't believe I had to scroll down to find someone else who caught it!

[@JuliaPelio]

i will never get enough of the deep sea

[@therealzilch]

It's refreshing to hear the word "biodiversity" not immediately followed by "endangered". But I guess the deep sea is one of the last habitats to be affected by our destruction of life on our planet. Great work as usual. Thanks from very hot Vienna, Scott

[@GiraffeManReep]

Gosh I just love how crazy and spooky sea life can be. It's just so fascinating.

[@connorjohnson4402]

So just for the sake of clarity the fish at 4:48 Is a Chimaera which is a cartilanginous fish that is a close relative of sharks and rays. They are commonly called ghost sharks, as well as rabbit fish, spookfish and as they refer to it here rat fish but this can easily be confused with rattails or grenadiers which they kind of call it in the video. Though they do mention seeing a Chimaera in the clip right after that, I thought it might be worth pointing out, since there are a lot of other rat tails seen in the video and each group is so cool they deserve to be recognized for what they are. Also they must be saving the video highlights of all the dumbos that they saw on this dive for one video because i was really hoping to see the highlights of them all especially the bigger Cirroteuthis!

[@legatobluedream]

I want to live in the deep and these videos give me the best chance to do that. Thank you for all your work.

[@eddielikesfish7114]

i got into a marine biology course at university on thursday being a scientist on one of these journeys is my dream job tbh

[@AGDinCA]

Oh, that sea lily... just breathtaking...

[@dewantoroo]

The atalanta's cam on this expedition is on point 💯 And why they left out the dumbo octopuses we saw on this dive from the highlight vid 😅

[@Jukajobs]

maybe they'll post them in individual videos, or in some other compilation. i hope they do, i wasn't watching live and i'd love to see them

[@connorjohnson4402]

yea same but i bet they are gunna put them in their own highlight video, at least i hope so! the big Cirroteuthis was really cool and they got some pretty great footage of it especially since all the dumbo videos usually go pretty wild and get a ton of views!

[@Crafty_Chari]

so clear!

[@angelitabecerra]

Venus Flytrap Sea Anemone? I got a new favorite lifeform now 😁

[@Dwagginz]

If it's any consolation to the crew member talking during the brittle star clip (10-11min), I've fallen up stairs a lot too.

[@Kisakichan]

Super nice, there is so much in the deep ocean to discover

[@Offutticus]

I have one of those 'noid fossils found on a farm in east TN. We found a LOT of fossils and arrowheads as kids.

[@douglasstruthers8307]

Thank you for these stunning deep sea videos. Always look forward to watching them!

[@aylahanson866]

This was amazing, only ruined for me by the rudeness of the male biologists speaking over the Spanish speaking biologist as she was explaining. 8:36

[@cestmoi1262]

At this depth any creature with eyes sees everything pretty subdued. With the bright lights from the submersible wouldn't it have the same effect as us looking directly at the sun?

[@hunterellis8714]

these videos are NyQuil, in a good way.

[@gradybrowning3976]

Cool

[@the_newt_nest]

What's the difference between a rat fish and a chimera?

[@YukiSorrelwood]

I've always wondered how much if any damage the lights do. I know we need them to see, but does the sudden and bright light cause any kind of damage to anything?

[@alveolate]

interesting question... my guess is that as long as the light source isn't illuminating a huge area for a long time (say, couple of hours or more), i don't think it would disrupt any circadian rhythms? even then, i'd imagine any disturbed rhythms would reset after a day or so?

[@YukiSorrelwood]

@@alveolate not just that, im wondering about the life, does this light harm their eyes in any sort of way. Do plants react to the light?

[@kristianstipe]

@@YukiSorrelwood There are no plants. They are all animals.

[@PerceptionsProphet]

They do what I wanna do lol

[@divexplore55]

Amazing video! 🤙💦

[@anerolllanes3737]

Amazing 🤩

[@13Odrade]

Whaaaaahhhh

[@Ecrocken]

How far apart are the green lasers used for measuring? I always forget this.

[@thaisoceanos]

Who is the female voice at around 7:50? She has a bit of a Brazilian accent. I am Brazilian myself and also from the area, so got interested to know if there is one of us involved!

[@jamiegallier2106]

11:35 - how black that rock is!!

Whatcha say the anemone!

[@art.662]

Can anyone answer if the marine life is temporarily blinded by the spotlights?

[@kristianstipe]

They can't see in the dark anyway, so I don't think it would matter.

[@justinmorgan5282]

I get fomo from these videos

[@EarthChild9000]

We don't need to go anywhere else our planet is coolest.

[@PissyKnish]

How long until the ocean acidifies?

[@PerceptionsProphet]

😢

[@jank330]

unfortunately it already is their has been discussion of adding iron powder ie rust to counter act the acidification.

[@connorjohnson4402]

@@jank330 While that has been a potential method for combating acidification that has been proposed for many years, most of the science looking at that as a solution is very mixed and most of it is really opposed to implementing it on any sort of large scale. We don't really have that good of an idea on how the complex systems of nutrient cycling and transport work on the larger scale, and most studies and scientist agree that major additions of nutrients at some point in the system may end up upsetting it some place else and could backfire more than it helps at all. Thats why in 2008 the United Nations COnvention on Biological Diversity to place a moratorium on ocean fertilization projects apart from small scale costal experiments.
