- The largest living space on Earth lies between our ocean’s sunlit upper layers and the deep seafloor. 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 still learning about this vast ecosystem with each research expedition.
As the Monterey Bay Aquarium prepares for the launch of their 2022 exhibit, "Into the Deep: Exploring Our Undiscovered Ocean," they sat down with MBARI Senior Scientist Bruce Robison, who has studied and explored the midnight zone for his entire career. The stories he tells about the discoveries we’ve 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.
Learn more about MBARI’s research and the incredible discoveries we've made as we explore the ocean at www.mbari.org.

I would spend an entire day just sitting and listening to this man tell me about things he has seen.
th-cam.com/video/z4jsKm_3yHk/w-d-xo.html
me too.
That’s way books of scientists worth a lot …
Me too. Just sit there and watch during the different stages of day light on the surface.
This man is fascinating and so is this video..
"I have the best job in the world"
No argument from me !
But what if a fish decides to press charges on him cus he's watching them
Second to mr beast

@@honeybear200 nice thank you very much
@@Samurai90002 Thank you.🌈🌈🌈
There’s so much love for what he does, it’s not a job, it’s just living his life with excitement everyday.
No.... wait.... don’t end yet.... I want more.... please?!?!?
Yes.....I totally agree.....more please

@@honeybear200 Fantastic! Thank you❣️❣️
Just TH-cam search him, bound to be more. These guys make their work freely available for us little people.
Same. looking at these fish and the wonders of the world is so refreshing, like a breath of fresh air.
"They have really large eyes that scavenge light from ANY direction"
*blasts them straight in the eye with pure light from sub*
Bruce glad to see you’re still going deep keep it up. As one of those USN DSRV Avalon operators it’s amazing how far you have taken MBARI since we dove with you in the 90’s
Can I ask how did you get involved in the field originally?
@@ciandoyle8453 that’s what I want to know

Watch the video!
2021!
The whalefish looks like it is a sentient pair of Crocs shoes.
It looks like the gulper eel decided to get armor or a gulper eel had a baby with a crosile
Haha....that is hilarious. You nailed it.
it kind of....looks like..............a penis.

Beautiful footage, pleasant presentation. Thank you!
I need a part 2 of this video... And a part 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 .....
Just make it a weekly thing that would be good
@@isopodslug6365 yes please!

@@honeybear200 stop spamming religious stuffs
I work on the boats that these guys charter. The stuff we do fascinates me. It's literally like living in a documentary.
The depths of the oceans are truly amazing, I can't wait to learn about all the new species that are discovered.

We really do live on a remarkable planet! Would live for this to be 10x longer!

When I was a kid I really wanted to be a marine biologist. But I have problems remembering names and numbers, really bad problems. And marine biologist deal with a lot of numbers and never mind the scientific names...Unfortunately I've only had the opportunity to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium 4 or 5 times and its been decades since I last went. Needless to say I love this channel!!! Stay safe everyone and please wear a mask!

Mask of the beast
"I have the best job in world." I want to say that too, in the future.
What I have never understood is how the creatures that live their entire existence in total darkness don't lose their minds and swim as fast as they can away from the sub's light.
Anyone have any idea? I'm extremely curious about this, and have been for 25 years, at least.
I think they’re blind or something. Wouldn’t have the same eyesight in pure darkness 🤔
@@artedesarializ But their eyes are still good enough to see bioluminescence, which is comparatively quite dim. FAR dimmer than those sub's lights.
I've thought before that maybe it's due to where those wavelengths are on the electromagnetic scale; but if we can see bioluminescence, then it falls into the "visible light" part of the spectrum, same as the sub lights. So that makes me think I'm wrong.
It's their habitat. I think if your put light they would feel like night for us
Am more curious if they are blinded for the rest of their short lives on that side, and easy prey for larger predators. It would be the equivalent (sort of) of shining an airport search light into our eyes. Not likely to recover any normal sight after that.
@@robertmarmaduke9721 The thought an animal could be blinded on one side, and therefor be easy pickings for predators never occurred to me. Surely they're _at the very least_ temporarily blinded.
That guy is really cool. I'd like to see him host future videos.
th-cam.com/video/z4jsKm_3yHk/w-d-xo.html
When you’ve got “the best job in the world”... is it actually a job at that point? Surely it’s a vocation, and a fabulous one at that. What a dude, we need more of this guy, I need more of this guy... people like this enrich all of our lives
Marine biologists, and scientists in general are extremely underpaid.
If you work as a marine biologist then it is because you truly love what you do, not because of the money, so there’s that
So wonderful, we just can’t get enough of it. Thank you for showing us.
So magical. I am always amazed at how much has been invested and still invested to explore space and then we know so little about the seas, their depths and the wonderful and bizarre creatures that habit them. Forgetting that the seas provide almost 50% of the oxygen we breathe.
Aint nobody left earths atmosphere, even the iss is in low earth orbit. The deep sea is where all the real aliens are at
The barrel eye fish is a pretty good indication that we know very little about the diversity of life in the universe. If there is this much variation right here on our little planet, imagine the wonders that lay out there.
The earth is a closed system, all the real aliens are in the deep oceans and caves
the deep sea creatures are amazing !

I am so grateful that you are sharing some of the important breath taking research you are discovering. Through people like you we can still see how beautiful this planet can be, even in these uncertain of times, I for one would like to thank you & all at MBARI ✌🏻💕🌈
More Bruce Robison, please!!!!
More, more, more!
This was amazing!
Dr. Bruce Robison is an inspiration and a role model. What an awesome guy.
Such an underrated Channel
First time I’ve heard of a Whale Fish and an Owl Fish! 😱
Love when they explore the deep. So many things that we have never seen awesome
love the barrel eye fish. so adorable!
Astonishing & marvelous creatures. Thank you.
They all look so cute and squishy! 🥺♥️
they knew exactly what they were doing with that thumbnail.
th-cam.com/video/z4jsKm_3yHk/w-d-xo.html
The whale fish?
@@cyberguppy419 yes lol
cok
I’m sorry but if you see a penis in there then you have no salvation lol
Thank you! More of it, please.
Growing up near San Diego, California, one of my favorite pastimes was visiting Scripps Oceanographic Institute’s aquarium. My favorite Animal was the moray eel. He’d shyly peek out of his rock palace and he just looked so cute.
Fascinating! Thanks.
Simply enchanting.
FASCINANT!!!!💯
Thanksssss 👌
This is so educate and fascinating at the same time. I'm amazed
So cool... I wish they would put up the names for each fascinating creature they showed in the video. Maybe they haven't had time to name them all?
Idea: why not let the public nominate names for them? It will be such a great ad campaign, for their research effort and funding!
Thank you. That was truly magical!!
The last bit was really heratwarming :)
Thank you for the exploration and nice vids!
Your profile picture is very heartwarming. It makes me feel so helpless...
@@KT-83 same
So beautiful...
I just like how passionate and confident this lovely man about his job. I envy him.
Well, his job is indeed too amazing!
I love it when people are so passionate about their jobs and I love it when they share with me what they do even if it’s a yt video I enjoyed watching it
Stunningly Beautiful, want to see more of them please 🙏🏼❤️
I'm glad you are thankful. What a cool job to have
Magnifique, merci 👍👍👍
Thank you
What a great video!
One word. Amazing. This series will be a hit if you Persue
Extremely Interesting, extremely. Thank You for posting this.

Had me mesmerized.
That little Panda Bear looking squid was amazing
I agree with you Bruce, I'm envious - do more videos, it's the only way I'll ever see the twilight zone of the ocean.
Incredible!
Do you know ? That's one of the most beautiful documentary on abyss I ever seen
You do have the best job in the world-I should’ve taken my colleges professor’s advice and sought out marine biology as my major and keep culinary as my undergraduate degree. He said he could see my passion and was highly impressed with the depth in which I was able to memorize and know. It truly is THAT INTERESTING and I always wanted to learn more. Being a biologist would’ve been an excellent choice and I’d be making a difference in the world 🌎
Nicely explained! Love it!

💜🌈💜🌈💜🌈💜🌈💜🌈💜🌈🙏
Fantastic video.
I agree more ...passion for the BEAUTY.
Unbelievably awesome, thanks to everyone involved. Subscribed on first view.
Fabulous imagery 👍
Wish I were a member of this research team, it is very interesting

so beautiful...
This is great! Footage of live whalefish, Japetella octopus and owlfish so rare, and I so exited to see this and more deep sea creatures.
Watching this Channel sience my Childhood🤗
I love this man's job
Wonderful training for universe exploration.
Ohhh how I love & look forward to all of your videos; seeing that dumbo (or possibly flapjack?) octopus within the first 2 seconds made my night 🥰 You have a way of compressing so much joy & wonder in such short clips, it amazes me. Also, this gent, so appealing - I want to be there with him & hear of all his stories of the sea!
Danke👍🤗
Amazing 🤩
That was amazing
What an amazing video
how have i not seen all of these! Congrats on capturing and discovering them
3:55 You might bro
amazing
!
The BGM is en pointe! 😍
Maravilloso!!!
He definitely does have the best job in the world 😩 I’ve wanted to explore and study the deep sea since I was a wee child
Amazing work 🔥✌️
Amazing...i have never been before..good job
i love this channel
What an amazing opportunity to work studying the deep sea. I guess there's no specific career path to do it besides being a marine biologist and being at the right place at the right time.
Amazing
Many great wishes from us
All these lifeforms look to me like pure engineering,and it is,ofcourse basicly and truly understand your passion for it! Thanks for sharing!
why do you take the stand point they were engineered/created
I really can't believe what I'm seeing. These fish look so weird yet so beautiful at the same time. I almost can't comprehend all the different shapes and colors of these fish.
great images, very good shots
I enjoyed this very much, especially the orange whale fish!
Bruce your a very real person. Enjoyable!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I LOVE TO SEE DEEP-SEA VIDEOS thanks
I love every second! My question is, is it ever unnerving being down there but not knowing if you'll encounter something that could be scary?
Awesome wow and each one with amazing ways to survive
Love animals!!!!!👍👍👍
amazing footage 😍😍😍🤩
He has a great job.
What a unique way to spend your life awesome totally awesome
Oh, how engaging!
Those're whole lots of aliens down there.
Indeed
Well we are aliens
Awesome
I need 1 hour video of this
