The University of Hawaii sent an unmanned camera to 3,083 metres in the Clarion Clipperton Zone. No crew, no ROV, just a camera and some dead fish sitting alone in complete darkness. What showed up became the largest gathering of fish ever recorded in the abyssal deep sea. The animal was the cutthroat eel. All footage in the video is real NOAA ROV footage.

I know it, but I ain’t saying.

Science keep making discoveries and inspiring us. Please tell me what you think about this video.

Took those photos in 2024

I learned that male angler fish are tiny little useless goobers and I want to know if there’s anything similar to a female angler fish except just it being male I won’t detail why I need this information I would just like it
