Grace under pressure: How membranes help comb jellies thrive in the deep

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Wow, so they NEED the pressure to keep their bodies together, fascinating.

We need to make the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) an absolute no-mining site. This zone is one of the largest carbon sinks in the world, but people want to mine it to get ores useful in batteries and other "green" storage devices, but they're willing to destroy the earth to manufacture them. Many aspects of deep-sea mining activity would endanger species in the Clarion-Clipperton zone; they face threats of being crushed by machinery, dispelled in sediment plumes, smothered by unsettled sediment, the loss of resources and habitat, etc. This does not include the threats posed by noise and light pollution.

That is wonderful. Thanks for your work and dedication. I support your union efforts ❤

[@peteretnoyer-noaa]

fantastic, thank you. love the graphics and video of course

[@KubotaManDan]

Gotta Love a Comb Jelly. Excellent video clarity!

[@brucefelter1335]

Such interesting research. Thank you for your OUTSTANDING VIDEOS!

[@autummireles7843]

I hope MBARI does a video going over their tanks and how it keeps the pressure to ensure the comb jellies stay alive. That has to be some crazy pressure to keep these guys intact.

Thank You! Great education, very well presented.👏

[@upinmyglider]

I've been wondering about living in hyperpressure ever since I started following MBARI. Thanks for the insight.

Ctenophores are super fascinating! Amazing footage and work!

[@GayleDuckworth]

That was really good, it was concise, factual and metred at a good pace to keep it interresting.

[@ivvy7325]

This is a very good video

[@joehopfield]

Thank you! I vaguely knew biochemistry got difficult in the deep ocean, but usually truck-on-stamp style comparisons stand alone, suggesting crushing instead of chem

[@CybrRafi]

Beautiful, Thank you for sharing

[@samsonkjoseph6087]

Thank you.

[@jaymayhoi]

great animations

The deep sea is a totally alien place

[@brianSalem541]

The aliens on History Channel don't compare to the creatures on MBARI!

[@70stunes71]

👍💯 Excellent

[@pyroMaximilian]

For those unfamiliar with American units such as pickup-trucks-per-postage-stamp, I did the math: The water pressure described in the video is about 32,500 kPa or 321 atmosphere.

[@Pocketkid2]

Has anyone else seen The Abyss (1989)? The translucent reflective deep-sea creatures from these videos remind me of the creatures from that film

[@1.4142]

So they can't be kept in aquariums?

[@БиревИван]

❤

This is were all the aliens resign in our oceans not in our sky's so beautiful down there I'm more afraid of humans then the ocean
