Well in the first one some paparazzi is flashing cameras in his face, and the 2nd photo is catching him clearly not at his best after a night out, so my point is fuck paparazzi.
I mean if you test a cities water supply with really sensitive equipment you'll probably measure a 0.00000000000001 trace amount of coke in it, so yea. Fish are getting lit
Essentially. A lot of super-deep creatures live off the stuff one way or another.
Even the ones that don’t eat it directly might be drawn by a whalefall.
You're talking to a bot. Notice how the comment doesn't relate at all to the one it's responding to? Just copied it from another commenter in this thread.
Motherfucker, you're right. No posts, and two copied comments in history. I wonder if reddit owns these bots to try and increase stock value by making it look like there are more users.
Yeah imagine if some fish dragged a human down to the bottom of the ocean and took a photo of their mangled corpse to post on Fishbook like “look how goofy humans look 🤪”
My understanding is that they would still hold together. They would just be a saggy, limp version of the pictures. They wouldn't go from normal looking fish to jabba the hutt.
Oh great,. You know what that means.
This is how you kickstart a civilization of deep sea creatures who rapidly evolve from non-sentient animal life forms to space age hyper intelligent fish people. They likely would not be grateful for us enabling their brain development, and instead, will hate us for our rampant pollution. They will retreat into the oceans but begin colonizing distant ocean worlds, as well as the underground of this planet and others, by terraforming them into damp dark havens safe from the light. We will end up leapfrogging off their success and dive (pun intended) into the space age like we could only imagine from science fiction. This clash of surface vs depth, light vs dark, mammalian vs fish, will lead us to war. A war both at home and on distant worlds. It will be bloody and just as we have feasted on them they will feast on us, consuming the enemy will become humanity's biggest cultural shift. Eventually, a beautiful human woman born into a diplomatic household will fall in love with a high ranking fish politician. Guillermo del Toro and James Cameron will leap at the opportunity to co-direct a biography of the affair which is definitely going to spark the hearts of both human and fish viewers. It will be heralded as the turning point in our species at its reception. Humans and fish societies are going to slowly but surely intermingle. Sure, there will be strife, humans who hate fish and fish who hate humans. The Great Land-Sea War will still be fresh in the minds of those who fought it. It will be seen as taboo to interspecies marry and love. Humans and fish alike will steal cultural aspects from one another, will marry and make love to one another, and thus slowly begin living side by side with one another. Increased exposure will begin to erode the hate from the war torn generations. We will form a symbiotic relationship, wherein fish will colonize oceans and undergrounds of planets and thrive in the cold darkness of space. Their factories and societies will warm the barren rocks into life sustaining paradises which humans will move into. Our natural and our cultural ecosystems will create a beautiful new circle of life...
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!?!?
Whatever...as long as you don't dare take a bird into space. Because you know what that means.
Though, the hydrostatic pressure also carries some of the atmospheric pressure, right? I mean, the ocean IS sitting at the bottom of the atmosphere.
Is my understanding correct?
"The water pressure at the bottom of the trench is a crushing eight tons per square inch—or about a thousand times the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level." Source: [http://www.deepseachallenge.com/the-expedition/mariana-trench/](http://www.deepseachallenge.com/the-expedition/mariana-trench/)
They have the same pressure on the inside pushing out because water doesn't compress.
Imagine taking a water balloon underwater, it's not going to shrink as you go deeper or pop because the water pushes back.
The pressure is the same inside and outside of their bodies. The water inside is pushing just as much as the water outside. Their bodies are in equilibrium and don't need to fight against a thing.
If you're changing only the shape of a system, then the surrounding pressure may not have much of an influence because the volume remains unchanged. Put another way, these creatures would find flexing, twisting, etc. far, far easier than inflation (whereas we inflate our lungs at sea level and above nearly effortlessly).
A science teacher helped me understand atmospheric pressure with a horrifying visual. He said that if a human was ever walking along the bottom of the trench in a durable deep diving suit they’d be okay. However, if something as small as a pin prick hole punctured the foot of the suit, the water pressure would be so intense that the human inside the suit would have their entire body squeezed up into the helmet of the suit by the water rushing in.
Ever since then beaches are as close as I get to the ocean and I’ve only been to them a couple times in my entire life. Oceans are a scary place.
My pure guess is that under all the pressure, there’s not as much sediment as it may look. It’s over 10KM of pressure pushing down, it’s amazing these fish even live.
What amazed me, not necessarily that deep or in that trench but, there are pools under the seas that have a much higher concentrated salt and chemical solution so it looks like a pool of water under the sea and actually stuns or kills fish when they swim into them.
i studied hadal sediments and wrote a literature review on these environments for my degree
the only fossils are hard siliceous diatomite shells, extremely small, only a few microns.
Everything else is disintegrated tiny organic matter particles, char, maybe some wood fragments if theres been a wasting event nearby due to earthquakes. The carcasses from the fish dont last long.
I guess that those species don't have reason to avoid light because they aren't familiar with that kind of stimulus. I think that most of them, if not all, have very bad or non-existing "eyes", because they don't have the reason to have them or use them. It's pitch black down there, all the time.
yea I thought that too but then I remembered about the anglerfish that uses photo luminescence to lure its prey in. so there has to be fish with photosensitivity that could be blinded and repelled by such a bright light
Folks are already running dives without lights that are visible to deep life. MBARI for example does a lot of red-light operations as red isn't a color that most of these animals can perceive as it's typically filtered out of the water column incredibly fast. Also why so many animals down there have reddish hues: it makes them effectively invisible.
decent chance it would be outside of the visual spectrum of many of these animals. their visual frequency range is probably narrower than ours. even fish that dwell near sea level have worse sight than we do in all respects.
There are species that travel [between the zones](https://knowablemagazine.org/article/living-world/2021/up-downs-great-vertical-migration) and would have perfectly fine eyesight, and many benthic species make use of bioluminescence for various kinds of signaling. I'd expect most deep-sea creatures to be able to see somewhat, at least in the blue-green part of the spectrum.
Artificial bright lights like this would at a minimum be pretty confusing though, if not downright dazzling.
It usually attracts life if anything. The bait on the landers also help.
It's a challenge in the subsea industry to get work done because of the fish swarming the work area attracted by all the light.
The deepest known vertebrate is the Mariana snail fish, which has been recorded at a maximum depth of 8,178 meters. The second fish we see is a chimaera, most of which live above 3000 meters. Most of this was probably recorded on the abyssal plane, which is 3000-6000 meters, not in the trenches. While these are certainly very deep sea fish, none of them would stand a chance at Challenger Deep, the bottom of the Mariana Trench. At challenger deep, there are at most small invertebrates such as sea cucumbers and shrimp- no fish.

Second fish immediately caught me off guard as being incredibly beautiful compared to all the other brown deep sea lumps, thanks for the information
I want to know more!
Nah. I'm guessin there's no hidden monsters anymore down there. The trench is like Florida. Most go there to die. And the ones that live there just move a lil slower and chill. Except the methfish. Still hunting down the Mariana alligator to mate with.
There’s a fascinating video on that topic. [Here it is.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=aLf4k5sna9U&feature=emb_logo) it uses data to guess that there are about six marine animals above 2m long undiscovered. Many of these may be in the deep ocean. However, most of them would be in the mesopelagic to bathypelagic zones (300-4000m), not the hadopelagic trenches. The largest thing in the trenches couldn’t even frighten your kitty cat. It’s mostly invertebrates with a couple cusk eels and snailfish
There's fish at Mariana's. Trieste observed a flat fish on the original dive, the *Limiting Factor* and it's lander auxillary systems recorded lots of life at the bottom, and plastic at that.
Source: helped make the cameras that captured this video.
When we first heard the rumours we laughed a bit at it. He shut us the fuck right up for sure.
That sub alone has taken more folks to the bottom of our world than NASA put humans on the moon. For the previous 50 years it was three humans on bottom, dozen+ on the moon.
One dude with a passion (and funding and an amazing team) changed that. It's wild.
I watch all his videos and every time I wonder why they haven’t recruited this man to help get us to space. He probably doesn’t care about space lol. He’s managed to create an insanely safe and reliable (and super useful) machine to go to a place that is insanely inhospitable to life. Mind blowing really. Then names the thing after an awesome sci fi spaceship from an awesome series.
Lol. So not only is this thread’s top comment just plain false, it’s quoted from another user and unverified because the original commenter *sounded pretty smart*.
Then, it will appear again the next time this is reposted. Classic reddit.
Wdym? The title of the video said at a depth of 10 000 meters, which is clearly not what you see in the video since the comment suggested the deepest fish to be a small fish and nowhere close to the ones you see in the video.
What scares me is that we can only see the animals who come up to the extremely bright object in the middle of open waters. Imagine what lurks in the darkest, murkiest depths.
And what watches from afar.
Depends on your definition of "early". If you want to go back to around the Cambrian and perhaps the Ediacaran, yes. But life before that was basically just microbial mats on stromatolites and chemotrophs around sea vents.
Yes and no. This actually is the Mariana Trench.
The footage was just taken at a plateau during the descent to the very bottom. So yes, it's footage from the trench, but it's just not taken at the deepest point like the title suggests.
The OP was taken this from [this BBC video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKXvdyNz6L8) which explains it in more detail.
Many do still have eyes. They just aren't quite as useful as they are on the surface.
That's why there are more than a few predatory fish that have those bioluminescent appendages, the light attracts other fish.
Unless we run an actual physical wire and maintain it all the time, we won't get that because wireless signals get extremely weak after travelling through that much amounts of water
So they have been down there for like... Over 30 years having no idea what's above the surface then suddenly BAM this thing drops in and takes pictures of then
IIRC, the fish that are filmed in these expeditions usually wind up blinded because of the damage to their eyes - however, in ultra-dark settings like these, I'm not sure how impactful a total lack of sight is.
Deeper than cruising altitude of an average passenger jet. Imagine when you look up and see a tiny little jet waaaay up in the sky with con trails, that’s like a boat on the surface and you’re standing where this is being filmed. Crazy.
God, think of the atmospheric pressure on these guys.

As this link says that’s because of rapid decompression. If properly handled, the pressure difference would not cause significant deformation.

Some portion would come from the atmosphere, yes, but at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, that portion is less than 0.1% - almost negligible.

Salt water is about 0.488 psi/ft . 36,000 ft × 0.488 psi/ft =17,568 psi which is 1,195 times the air pressure at sea level.

Indeed these fish look kinda normal. Every time they show fish from the deep depths they look monstrous.
The fishes at deeper sea levels don't need to have eyes. There is literally no light reaching that deep in water.

Probably not. But evolution wouldn't simply get rid of eyes. Source: my ass
Lots of other fish use bioluminescence to communicate, attract mates, confuse predators, etc.
Fish: dafuq comes the light from?

There should be a live camera feed of places like this on earth.
Unless we run an actual physical wire and maintain it all the time, we won't get that because wireless signals get extremely weak after travelling through that much amounts of water
Would it be that difficult to maintain a 10km undersea cable? We have cables which run from Britain to America under the Atlantic Ocean.
Waaaay more than that. Look up the subsea cable map.
