News 01.26.10 Understanding human threats to the Earth’s largest habitat—the deep sea When most people think about the deep sea, they picture broad expanses of muddy seafloor. However, the majority of deep-sea animals, and perhaps the majority of all animals on Earth, live in the "deep pelagic zone"--the dark waters between the ocean surface and the seafloor. News 01.13.10 Sea spiders and pom-pom anemones Creeping slowly across the deep seafloor on long, spindly legs, giant sea spiders are found in many deep-sea areas. But, as with many deep-sea animals, we know very little about how sea spiders live. A recent paper by MBARI-affiliated researchers shows that sea spiders suck the juices out of deep-sea anemones. Press Release 11.10.09 A motley collection of boneworms After planting several dead whales on the seafloor, a team of biologists recently announced that as many as 15 different species of boneworms may live in Monterey Bay alone. News 11.03.09 Marine biologists name new deep-water coral after Julie Packard Julie Packard was presented with a plaque containing photos of a new species of deep-sea coral that was recently named after her. News 11.03.09 Deep-sea ecosystems affected by climate change A new paper shows that animal communities on the abyssal seafloor are affected in a variety of ways by climate change. Press Release 09.10.09 New robot travels across the seafloor to monitor the impact of climate change on deep-sea ecosystems Like the robotic rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which wheeled tirelessly across the dusty surface of Mars, a new robot spent most of July traveling across the muddy ocean bottom, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) off the California coast. News 08.25.09 New species of deep-sea worms release glowing “bombs” Deep-sea worms have evolved an amazing array of body types and survival strategies. The latest addition to this collection of oddities is a group of swimming worms with small oval sacs of fluid hanging from their bodies, just behind their heads. Press Release 07.14.09 Scientists report first remote, underwater detection of harmful algae, toxins Scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science and MBARI have successfully conducted the first remote detection of a harmful algal species and its toxin below the ocean’s surface. News 04.17.09 Increasing carbon dioxide and decreasing oxygen in the oceans will make it harder for deep-sea animals to “breathe” New calculations made by marine chemists from MBARI suggest that low-oxygen "dead zones" in the ocean could expand significantly over the next century. Press Release 02.23.09 Researchers solve mystery of deep-sea fish with tubular eyes and transparent head Researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute recently solved the half-century-old mystery of a fish with tubular eyes and a transparent head. Ever since the "barreleye" fish Macropinna microstoma was first described in 1939, marine biologists have known that it's tubular eyes are very good at collecting light. News 04.08.08 Octopus mating games Many animals (including humans) spend a great deal of time selecting and fighting to keep their mates. Octopuses, which tend to be loners, have never been shown to engage in such complicated reproductive strategies. However, a new research paper by MBARI postdoctoral fellow Christine Huffard shows that at least one type of octopus (and probably others) do engage in elaborate "mating games." News 07.23.07 Humboldt squid on the move Over the last five years, large, predatory Humboldt squid have moved north from equatorial waters and invaded the sea off Central California, where they may be decimating populations of Pacific hake, an important commercial fish. News 06.21.07 Antarctic icebergs: hotspots of ocean life According to a new study in this week’s journal Science these floating islands of ice—some over 20 kilometers (12 miles) across—are having a major impact on the ecology and chemistry of the ocean around them. News 03.03.07 A worm like no other It sounds like a junior high school riddle—"What lives 3,000 feet below the ocean surface, is about the size of a marble, and looks like the back side of a pig?" MBARI biologist Karen Osborn and her colleagues recently came up with an answer to this riddle by combining modern DNA analysis with traditional methods of scientific observation.

This crab was first observed in March 2005 by marine biologists using the research submarine Alvin to explore hydrothermal vents along the Pacific-Antarctic ridge, south of Easter Island. News 02.22.06 First observations of an egg-brooding squid A recent publication by researchers at the University of Rhode Island and at MBARI details the first observations of brooding in a deep-sea squid, with the mother carrying the eggs between her arms until the young hatch and swim away.
