What creatures live in the "Midnight Zone" of the deep sea? | Into The Deep

- Join @MBARIvideo's Senior Scientist Bruce Robison on a dive into the vast midwater of the deep sea-the Midnight Zone!
This largest living space on Earth lies between our ocean’s sunlit upper layers and the deep seafloor, and Bruce has studied and explored the midnight zone for his entire career. The stories he tells about the discoveries MBARI has made boggle the mind, inspiring awe and wonder about how animals have adapted to this dark, cold, fluid world. Most of these animals don’t look or act like their shallow-water relatives, and have evolved an incredible array of strategies to not only survive in the midnight zone, but thrive there.
The midnight zone is home to our planet’s largest ecosystems, and the life that thrives there likely outnumbers all other animals on the planet. And yet, we are only beginning to understand this vast ecosystem with each research expedition.
Stay tuned for more from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and our colleagues at MBARI as we prepare for the launch of the 2022 exhibit, "Into the Deep: Exploring Our Undiscovered Ocean."

What kind of creatures live in the "Midnight Zone" of the deep sea? | Into The Deep
Deep thoughts: What adaptation do you think *you* would need to survive in the Midnight Zone? 🤔
Carcinisation?
the ability to read a good book in the dark? 🤔 or watch youtube in my brain?
2 hours of deep sea squidies to study/relax to?
How to see without light
Bioluminescence
Wow. I can't believe we share the earth with some of those animals.
Good sir, you do in fact have the best job in the world
I love these videos so much for so many reasons. Not the least of which is that they are great reference videos for my fish sculptures that I have been working on. Pictures are great but video is so much better as I can see the movements etc. It really helps. :D - Heidi
Thanks so much for watching!!
@@MontereyBayAquarium Yes
I do have job envy😉💙
I could watch hours of this deep sea footage, and this narration!
I wish I could do work like this, so incredibly fascinating and important. I can't wait for the day when the MBAQ has the deep sea exhibit ready!
Thank you for this video! My grandson is learning about the different zones of the ocean. He asked me what creatures live in the midnight zone, and I found your video! Perfect! God bless!
Nice animals I never knew some of those were animals.
Some of them are so CUTE!
WOW!!!! That's amazing how they've adapted to the environment!!! The diversity of the fish living there is so unique!!! I love learning about the world around us, whether seen or unseen!!!! This is incredible!!!! Thank you so much for sharing these videos with everyone!!! 😊😊
Amazing content thanks for sharing look forward to seeing more an miss the weekly basis talks an many other things hope everyone is well take care stay safe healthy and positive thoughts your way
"I have the best job in the world." ❤
inner space as a mirror to outerspace so grateful to view this video of awesome creatures🐚🐙
Thank You from🇨🇿
Omg protect him at all costs 🥺❤️
Love his passion for the deep sea!
Thank you!! Love the Monterey Bay Aquarium and this channel, now that we can't visit :'(
deep sea biology has been my favourite research topic since i was 7 and got my first sea life book
Thank you for your work
I agree, Bruce Robinson has the best, interesting job! :)
Just Amazing
Awesome whimsy and cleverness occurring here
This sure is very fascinating
2:17 Unintentionally humorous :)
I agree with the best job he has in the world ❤️
Strange Pokemon indeed.
WOW
I can't wait till the Monterey aquarium opens up I'm going to apply for the job again like I did three years ago
that yelloe fish is like scp-999
Senior scientist and senior citizen. Kudos
0:04 Is that some kind of grenadier/rattail fish? I've never seen one with pelvic fins like that.
Indeed, that's a juvenile rattail/grenadier! It's thought those extra long fin rays make make the rattail look less like a meal and more like a stinging jelly or other unappetizing morsel!
@@MontereyBayAquarium That's cool!
Anyone know what the ghost baby around 0:53 - 0:55 is?
this was 2 years ago so you probably know now anyway but it’s a sea angel! :)
3:29 I kept replaying this part over and over to see this weird looking guy i think I can see his brain???? 💀
Which is the fifth one called the small glowing fish
Some of these species look like literal aliens and it's AMAZING
I hope to one day be able to have a job like this
Look at that squid...
I'm not playing, those fish are related to aliens in some way
Now I know what a angler fish looks like
love this channel...but underlaymusic is not necessary..
Can you pls go in the.... deepest oacean? Thats 6000 feet? Pls?? I wanna see a blobfish!😟
the adaptation of being a 24/7 predator... eat or be eaten.... sounds miserable.. no thanks.. what a horrible world
why do these things have eyes... its pitch black down there!
Rip titan sub
anyone who eats cephlopods, is wrong.
