Mr TapsEnough machines and more #octopus. This juvenile (I think east pacific?) was among many of its siblings in the shallow kelp beds of Hood Canal earlier this week. Any #marinebiologists know how to differentiate great and east pacific octopuses when still smol? #scuba #underwaterphotography

De Vos, then a master’s student, recalls being “super excited.” What she witnessed went against prevailing dogma: Her textbooks and professors had taught that blue whales, like other large whales, embark on long-distance migrations between colder feeding areas and warmer breeding and calving areas. But seeing whales pooping in tropical waters meant the behemoths must be feasting locally."

David Cantrell 🏏Dear #MarineBiologists, I will pay whichever of you discovers and names the #ChocolateStarfish one thousand of the currency unit of your choice.
dmgAny #MarineBiologists here know what this might be from? I found it on a Wairarapa beach, the weight and thickness resembles a nautilus shell, but I’m unfamiliar with this shape
KaylinQA team of #MarineBiologists and #oceanographers from the University of California, the University of British Columbia, the University of Hawaii and the South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute, has found evidence suggesting that fish such as skipjack, yellowfin tuna and bigeye have been changing their migration patterns due to climate change and have begun moving into areas where people plan to start #DeepSeaMining.

Deep sea mining plans could interfere with fish populations forced to move due to climate change

How many #DeepSea species in the deep ocean will survive will probably depend on how many really need #oxygen to survive.
To answer this, #MarineBiologists will...
