Funny story about the Alvin sub. I was so scared of getting a new job that I decided to talk to a therapist to help me through the process (job security issues/constant rejction in the past). At my first appointment, he had a shirt on that had a small picture of it. Being a scuba diver, myself, I was curious and asked him about it. Turned out he was part of the crew of the Alvin sub. :)

[@terramater]

What we learned recently: In order to study the deep sea species you have to go there and take samples in highly pressurised receptacles. A LOT of planning and work involved. We actually never really thought about this before. So we followed the scientists along on their quest to the depths of the ocean. That was very insightful and great fun indeed.

[@almostded2818]

@whesley hynes what do you suppose they do in order to study them? By understanding the inner goings on of an organism we can understand it's function and place in the eco system and help to preserve it from harmful practices. As they said in the video is humans can help benefit from these animals through biomimicry by finding less harmful ways of producing things we have access to now. To call scientists psychopaths for dissections is an incredibly backwards way of thinking that limits discovery.

The entire bacteria - tube worm symbiotic relationship is super cool and actually might be a good way of understanding how more evolved animals initially developed mitochondria millions of years ago.

[@leahdragon]

'More evolved' animals didn't develop mitochondria. Singles celled organisms 'developed' mitochondria through a process called endosymbiosis where one cell lives inside another, and over millions of years, these became one organism.

[@drakemcfee9138]

Interesting point, the truly gigantic Stygiomedusa Gigantea has a little friend of its own. On the rare occasion we spot one(only 110 or so have been in the century or so since we discovered them!) They always have an Itty bitty fish called Thalassobathia Pelagica. I recall it being mentioned said fishy isn't found anywhere else(could be wrong on that and sadly no time to research 😢) its usually seen right up underneath the bell. I find it intriguing how incredibly different from most jellies they are. Almost like they are more evolved. I suspect the relationship is the jellies offer a safe place to live and the fish rids them of parasites. Its a bit vexing that despite having observed these deep sea behemoths(deepstaria, Stygiomedusa and big red...Tiburon?) We've never really examined one it the lab. That must be epically aggravating to biologists. I recall the lady who invented the splat screen and jelly fish lure and pioneered research into bioluminescence. She also had a big hand in figuring out how to attract an arcateuthis dux. During a submersible dive with the Monterey Bay folks she had the incredible luck to run into(almost literally!) A Stygiomedusa Gigantea. It was so close they couldn't use thrusters and was only a few feet away from her. She very well may be the only biologist to ever come so close. They observed and photographed for a good bit of time. Yet how frustrating that there is simply no way to capture one(well trawlers occasionally get one but that really tells nothing as they are pretty much nothing but a mangled ball of snot afterwards and can be hard to tell if it was even a jelly or if a whale sneezed...hmm can whales sneeze!? I digress, as far as hands on examination such creatures might as well be on the dark side of the moon!

Hank says symbiosis between tubeworms and bacteria could be thought of as "basically...an infection", but I'd like to think of it more like the bacteria have entered into a "pre/new construction agreement" before the rest of the (tubeworm) condos have been finished!

[@diplosbae]

I had an idea: what if the isopod lives inside the jellyfish to help attract prey for the jelly - predators of the isopod would smell(?) or sense the isopod and run into the jelly on accident. The jelly benefits by having something to attract prey and the isopod enjoys scraps of food inside the jellys digestive system. thoughts?

Just a quick theory but could deepstaria and the isopod have a food based relationship? Perhaps the jelly is coated in a film the isopod finds appealing, whilst perhaps the isopods waste can be filtered by the host? Essentially recycling nutrition between the two in times when food is scarce? Anyways, great vid sci-show!
