Comb jellies—also known as ctenophores—come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Many are transparent, but some deep-sea species, like the abyssal comb jelly, Beroe abyssicola, are ruby red or deep purple in color. So far, scientists have described approximately 200 ctenophore species.

Comb jellies swim by flicking hair-like ctenes back and forth. When the lights of our submersibles illuminate an abyssal comb jelly, the ctene rows diffract the light into the colors of the rainbow, creating those dazzling disco lights.

Most animals in the midnight zone produce bioluminescence. The abyssal comb jelly has a scarlet stomach that absorbs the light produced by meals digesting in its gut. The red pigment absorbs blue-green bioluminescence, keeping Beroe hidden from predators. Many other deep-sea jellies employ a similar strategy. Learn more about these dazzling denizens of the deep on our website.

Telescopefish have bizarre, tubular eyes that point forward and have large lenses. They feed on plankton and other small animals that live in the mesopelagic to bathypelagic zones of the ocean, from 500 to 3,000 meters below the surface.

Barreleye fish. Deep sea fish.

The green spheres are the are the lenses of the eyes.

The characteristic green pigment of their eyes and glasses is what allows them to filter the sunlight coming directly from the surface; this way they can look up looking at the bioluminescent light produced by jellyfish and other aquatic creatures.

DO YOU EVER FEEL A SPONTANEOUS NEED TO DRAW YOUR DND PARTY AS MERMAIDS??? BECAUSE APPARENTLY I DO. So here we have Orii (red tiefling with a devilfish tail), played by my friend Taylor, Ludlola, the ancient old dwarf who somehow keeps up with our shenanigans and gives us candy, played by my friend Kylah, Vivian, my fire genasi character, a shady motherfluffer to be sure, Uuf, the human blind boi who sees somehow and uses a lot of magic but dies real easy, played by my roomie and good friend Angelic, and of course, what’s a campaign without an honorary Buttrug Hug? The necrotic arm-powered, toe stealing anti-hero, played by my other roomie, Elora! Can’t wait to play with my friends again!

Pacific Spookfish marker practice. I'm happy with the driftwood mount behind it. I keep meaning to draw a haunted bonsai tree, and this really makes me want to go though with that.

Newcastle University reports on an expedition to the Hadal Trenches, the deepest places on Earth 🌏. This expedition explored the Atacama Trench which resulted in the discovery of 3 new species of snailfish at depths between 6500 and 7500 meters. (roughly between 21,325 feet and 24,606 feet deep) See how much easier the metric system is? . #HadalTrenches #AtacamaTrench #Snailfish #NewSpecies #NewSpeciesOfSnailfish #NewcastleUniversity #OceanLife #DeepSeaLife https://www.instagram.com/p/BnyBzWwHV4r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tkobpo1vbv9f

Titan? It is said, that the deep sea houses many different types of creatures. Some of them are one of a kind and unique to this world. The ancient greeks called some of those unique creatures "Titans" and others were even considered as gods by them. But where did they go? First artwork of a 7-part series. Legenden sprechen von einzgartigen Unterwasserkreaturen - im antiken Griechenland wurden Sie "Titanen" genannt, manche wurden sogar als Götter verehrt. Doch wo sind sie hin?

I did some half-ass zenithal on the base so I can see the details. Now I get to decide what colors I want to use. I'm so excited to start painting this Artisan Guild anglerfish lady! #CathyPaints #artisanguild #deepkin #DeepSeaLife #UnderTheSea #anglerfish #starfish #crabs https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8I_xEHj8T/?igshid=2pgj0qzzlohk

The magic of the midwater.⁣ . The Midwater Ecology Group is at sea on the R/V Western Flyer expanding their ongoing research into the respiration rates (oxygen consumption) of deep-sea animals using the Midwater Respirometry System (MRS). . This long-term project aims to investigate deep-sea animals response to changes in the environment (i.e., oxygen or temperature). ⁣ ⁣. This Jelly, Solmissus sp., is one of the species the Midwater Ecology group uses to study oxygen consumption in the MRS.⁣ . ⁣Reposted from @mbari_news . . . . . . . . . . . #jellyfish #jellies #gelatinouszooplankton #deepsealife #deepsea #ocean #oceanlife #sealife #midwater #pelagic #plankton #mesopelagic #MBARI #underwaterphotography #marinebiology https://www.instagram.com/p/CALnSh8Bz03/?igshid=1c3hp3jns3j78

First day of #mermay2019 and I thought I’d kick it off with a weird one. So here’s today’s merperson: inspired by the deepsea anglerfish
