Clownfish: A Little Creature In the Coral Reef

Image
Damn, who doesn't know about this little character, popularly known for the films "Finding Nemo" and "Finding Dory" which made people easily identify it. The real name of this orange and white color creature is clownfish and some individuals also resemble dark black and white in color. There are at least 30 clownfish species, most of them live in the shallow waters of the Indian Ocean, Red Sea, and the Western Pacific. Like all other clownfish, they spend most of their life feeding on the tentacles of their host anemone. They feed themselves on zooplankton and phytoplankton floating on the water column. Sometimes, they also prefer to eat algae present on the reef structure.  What makes them more interesting? We all know specific animals change their sex to meet the demands of their life. Usually, they change from female to male, but the clownfishes can change from male to female. They hatch as males and join the individual groups on the anemone...

Can Hydrothermal Vents Help us Learn About the Evolution Of Life On Earth?

Image
Like geysers and hot springs on land, hydrothermal vent acts as a system to transport chemicals and heat from the interior of the earth. This stunning discovery has made in 1977 while scientists have been exploring the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.  Hydrothermal vents are formed in areas with high tectonic activity, including the edges of tectonic plates, undersea mountain ranges, and seamounts, and mid-ocean ridges. Where they emit hot, mineral-rich fluids from beneath the seafloor. The water escaping from these vents are characterized by different physical and chemical factors, which include minerals, temperatures, and flow levels of their plumes. The low and high concentrations of minerals are referred to as white and black smokers. Hydrothermal fluid temperatures can reach up to 400 °C or more, but they do not boil due to high pressures at the deep ocean. Despite the extreme temperatures and pressures where these vents occur are completely dark and photosynthesis is impossible. ...

30 New Species Have Been Discovered In the Deep Sea Expedition

Image
A little has known to us about the deep sea areas, which makes us reveal a great number of species when a deep-sea expedition is carried out. A recent expedition in  Western Australia Ningaloo Canyons have yielded some exciting finds. Conducted by scientists from the Western Australian Museum, Curtin University, Geoscience Australia, Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Schmidt Ocean Institute. Over the course of 20 dives and 140 hours, the expedition has revealed 30 new species in the Ningaloo Canyons of the Indian Ocean under the depths of 4500 m. The Expedition was carried using a robot called ROV SuBastian, which documented a huge array of sea creatures. Including glowing Taning’s octopus squid, long-tailed sea cucumbers, barnacles, squat lobsters, and other molluscs. A giant hydroid of the coral relative with bright red color which stood well over 1m. The camera has also found a massive, swirling siphonophore which is 154 feet in length greater than the lengths ...
