Fish sex -- it's weirder than you think | Marah J. Hardt | TEDxMileHigh

Did you ever wonder how fish have sex? Buckle up for a wild journey through the sex lives of everything from lobsters to anglerfish. In this hilarious talk, marine biologist Marah J. Hardt explains why sex in the sea matters, how we humans impact it, and what we can do instead to protect our oceans, and future generations of fish. At 17, Marah J. Hardt left high school early to study sharks in the Bahamas. There, she realized that our oceans face serious challenges and that scientists are (often) terrible at communicating them, which inspired her career in marine conservation & communication. She received her PhD in marine science from Scripps Institution of Oceanography and is working on solutions for overfishing, climate change, and the coral reef crisis. She is founder and CEO of OceanInk and the Director of Discovery at the Future of Fish. She wrote the book, Sex in the Sea. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

That's one topic I wanted to know, but I never found any video on KZbin about this topic. Thanks ted talks. Love you.

Do you seriously think the commercial fishing industry really gives a f*^k about that. Until the day we realise that Life is more important than money, we are all screwed. No pun intended.

[@PowahSlapEntertainmint]

I dunno this sounds pretty... _fishy_ to me.

[@shreeyashrasal8574]

Yes truly said we are connected far deeper to this nature than we think. It is just our negligence which has brought the nature in trouble and we might face problems if soon don't take any actions. Now or never should be approach to save this beautiful nature. And lastly human population control is also the one of the keys to stop this interruption. Thanks for explaining such intricate phenomena which one could never think off and imagine ever.

[@fernandoteixeira1836]

Uau! Ela é extremamente didática e apresenta temas que na boca de outro soariam empolados. Objetiva, clara e muito empática. A primeira proposição apresentada por Alfred Russel Wallace e Charles Darwin na Linnaean Society de Londres estabelecia que "todas as espécies, ao se reproduzirem, produzem um número muito maior de “filhotes” do que o número que chega à idade adulta. Se todos crescessem e se reproduzissem, as populações cresceriam exponencialmente." Bem, então a Espécie Humana encontrou a solução: só ela cresce exponencialmente, e suas lavouras. Mas ela inventou também as Ciências Econômicas, baseadas na exatidão matemática, que demonstra, crivelmente, que todas as demais espécies e recursos naturais, declinando como vêm, esse declínio provocará um esgotamento, já que não há como aumentar de onde só se tira. E se a teroria de James E. Lovelock estiver certa, a desestruturação da vida no planeta vai ser problema muito sério para nossos descendentes. A expansão demográfica precisa estar alinhada com a capacidade de construção de novos caminhos na exploração com consequente expansão e preservação de recursos: fazendas de peixes, de ostras...regras mais eficientes de pesca e prospecção mineral...

Sounds interesting. But, you need to be aware of political bias that could be overstating importance of certain topics. 2/3 of earth is ocean, if we think 2 dimensionality. When you think in 3 dimensions, it is much larger. Just perspective.

[@marcelminor5574]

except no water doesnt go deeper than a couple kilometres. the earths outer most layer is nothing in comparison to the other layers, so 3 dimensionally speaking, water makes up like 1 percent of earth

[@dennisgarber]

@@marcelminor5574 so, you are counting the earth core to get to 1%?

[@marcelminor5574]

@@dennisgarber im saying that when you take all three dimensions of earth into account, water will amount to about one percent of it

The earth was going to run out of food by 1990 - 1978 documentary. New York was going to be under water by 2008- climate scientist 1994 interview. All glaciers will be gone in 10 years, 1957. I am old enough to have a better perspective.
