Teuthowenia Tuesday! ROV pilots filmed this glass squid during the #DesigningTheFuture3 expedition at 739 m. Read about the animal and the DeepPIV imaging system from @kakanikatija.bsky.social & @mbarinews.bsky.social via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/ekV8I...
Serving some major squeeee 😱🥹🥰
This adorable baby is the eryoneicus larval stage of a deep-sea lobster. These fuzzy globs float and feed in the water column until they're ready to change into juvenile lobsters and settle on the seafloor. This larva is about two inches long. You're welcome. 😍

🌊 @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social GO-BGC float of the month. El Niño is coming. The 2023/24 event is clear in the @bgc-argo.bsky.social record. The white, 29C contour outlines anomalies in pCO2, NO3, chlorophyll and particulate organic carbon. Those white contours are emerging again. Stay tuned.

Non-dominant phytoplankton contribute more within the front than outside in the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea, whereas dominant types show the opposite pattern, based on an adapted sampling strategy.
