Really amazing. I have always wanted to try to keep various deep sea fishes in aquaria. The jellyfish aquarium design was very interesting! Perhaps one day I can use one of these trawlers (any idea how, as a private individual?) to collect some specimens. I know many would need nitrogen injections into the water to displace oxygen etc. It's all very fascinating
Tricky to keep much alive from the deep - the Monterey aquarium in California, funded by Hewlett-Packard, has managed it. Anyone can hire a trawler like the research one used here - only about $40,000 per day plus fuel! More economical would be to built your own deep sea winch and net and fish off shore on a volcanic island where it shelves deep very quickly.
Honestly I love the deep sea dragon fish, probably my favorite fish I love it's bioluminescent red light adaptation, thank for doing all this documentation for us
Yes I know it seems like that and I think that too sometimes. The fact is that it is really hard and expensive to get into the deep sea. To get far from shore and be safe in the open sea often needs a big boat - that is a huge cost for a start with tens of crew who need paying every day and big boat= big fuel bill. Then to actually go deep you need loads of winching gear and cable. If we could make autonomous low cost camera systems deployed from smaller boats that might work. There are things called 'gliders' that are underwater robotic research 'drones' but they still cost millions. I wonder sometimes if I could go off the Azores or similar - mid ocean volcanic Islands where it is very deep only a few tens of metres from shore - a mile down in the Azores not far from shore is common. Then you could just drop $200 cable cameras from a small fishing boat and run fields of them over many miles of seabed because they are low cost - servicing them every day like lobster pots. Someone will crack something like that pretty soon (if not me!)
@@IndoonaOceans I hope it gets cracked soon. I'm not sure exploring and discovering new things is worth it at the current cost to the environment. Thanks for responding!
@@The_Only_Juan LOL! the environment (like the planet) will correct itself whether we do anything or not. I mean you could try educating people to not litter their trash. That's a good start.

‘You do not exist’ is a paradoxical statement as George Orwell pointed out in his book 1984. My comment is somewhat in the same vein so maybe that’s why it feels weird!
I remember my 10 year old self, thinking these were actually as big as catfish and were the swarming type of predator, like a piranha. Boy, was I wrong.
Lots of people and they are somewhat right I think - however, we tried to respect this animal by filming the scientific catch as a record that people could at least know what wonders there are in the ocean. The scientific samples taken had much value too in both understanding the sea and the physiology of things like eyes in the deep sea. Every day millions on millions of fish have a traumatic death through being caught in nets etc. We need the food but should also respect by not overfishing and avoiding by-catch.
Well all common names for animals seem to have potential for confusion- which is why zoologists use Latin names - although they are often hard to read and pronounce !
Yes. - I also worked on those - Blue Planet etc. and for many deep sea creatures it was either like this or with a submarine - although that was always very expensive
Yes you are right that they are shaped by the dark place they live - as you know after a few hundred meters very little surface light penetrates the water and many animals hide by using black camouflage
No it would not be happy in a normal tropical fish tank. If kept in cool and dark maybe (Monterey aquarium USA have tried) but then you only need about £500k in trawler time to find one!
Thanks for asking but we only license this footage starting at $30 per second minimum use 30 seconds- it is the only way to reinvest to get more such footage because it is so expensive and even then it nowhere near covers costs. I hope you understand- if you want free material try Wikimedia commons. Thanks again for asking though as many don’t.
Yes I am sure HR Giger, the artist of Alien, got his inspiration from nature and likely marine creatures but we don’t know if it was just one or many bits from different creatures
I agree with you in general and millions of tons of ocean creatures are killed every year for food or just wasted. This was a scientific expedition that can provide useful conservation date - you have to know what’s there for a start - admittedly only a small part of it and slow to produce results. We were filmmakers documenting these animals - I think you will agree that is a worthwhile addition to keep the images and show them to a wider public ( this was done in 2005 BTW). Deep sea submersibles from which non destructive filming is possible are upwards of $20,000 per four hour dive - trawling can be done over a much larger area for half that per 24hours. Possibly better baffles could be fitted in the cod end trawl to prevent battering from the current although there wasn’t much interest in that - a lot of the research is biochemical looking at eye pigments etc not the whole animal. I think the feeling is that it is for the greater good but certainly one needs to respect these animals and harvest images and observations effectively. I should add they are not deliberately killed of course- it’s the mechanical battering they get in the trawl and the sudden change in temperature and pressure as they come to the surface that kills them.
@@IndoonaOceans I do understand the procedure, and your need to go through such a process. Although you state they are not killed deliberately, you and I are both aware they are going to die. I am familiar with the workings and the costs of operating an ROV from a DSV. It's just a shame you don't have the sort of money that oil companies have to hand. Perhaps the oil companies should be paying for these expeditions. I do wish you all the best. P.S. I think my older age has made me more apathetic to the welfare of animals. I go Salmon fishing (Fly fishing). Although I put them through a bit of trauma, I put them back alive and well. In the process, I have learned how intelligent these fish are. I've come across things with Salmon that people just simply wouldn't believe.
@@martinramsey114 totally agree that fish have amazing intelligence - would be interesting to do a film on it - maybe I will here. Perhaps you can give me a few suggestions from your salmon experience? I have access to salmon footage so could do something with it.
Ugly looking monster-like fish are quite common. The monk or angler for example are just ugly-fugly. But there be tons of scary ugly down there. Not necessarily big, but definitely scary-lookin
@@arontabio7779 Do you mean what it eats or what it tastes like? It probably eats other fish (we know from one caught with a fish inside - see other video on this channel) and shrimps - anything it can catch basically by sucking it into its balloon mouth and being able to open its jaws wide like a snake. How does it taste - no one knows but 'fishy' is one answer!
People calling certain animals fake seems to be common in RUclips. There are people that have commented that the gorillas & chimpanzees they've seen in zoos are just people in costumes. No such thing of these animals. People that say are fake & don't exist include pandas, bears, whales, lions, & elephants. Strange these people.
Thanks for your reassuring comment - I agree all you can do is show what you have honestly filmed and people will make up their own minds about what’s true or not. Love the idea of a zoo with humans in costumes though - it would be a hit!
It’s real - there are quite a few dragonfish of various species all over the world in the deep sea at middle depths around about 600m and deeper - it’s why we rarely see them. The middle part of the ocean is the biggest place for animals in the world and there’s still loads we don’t know there.

I'm so disappointed as a species that we are using the same techniques to "explore" the deep sea as 200 years ago. What the actual heck?!

It would but they are only about a foot or 30cm long in real life!
These deep sea dwellers are naturally still in the water like this until they strike on their prey.
Brilliant observation!
I figured it would die. The pressure and temperature was too drastic for it
Yes sadly but we have recorded it here so people know about these creatures
@@IndoonaOceans right I do understand completely
I remember my 10 year old self, thinking these were actually as big as catfish and were the swarming type of predator, like a piranha. Boy, was I wrong.

Who said it's cruel to show a dead fish? Or to even kill a fish.
Lots of people and they are somewhat right I think - however, we tried to respect this animal by filming the scientific catch as a record that people could at least know what wonders there are in the ocean.

@@IndoonaOceans over fishing is not good but I'd say it's a tiny minority of people who think its cruel to show a dead fish. A dead fish is just food.
I didn't even know they were two species dragonfish the first type of dragon fish I knew was the deep sea dragonfish
Well all common names for animals seem to have potential for confusion- which is why zoologists use Latin names - although they are often hard to read and pronounce !
No light show? Their bioluminescence is pretty neat.
I think we’ve not seen it all yet - someday someone will capture something spectacular from a research submersible with its lights switched off
Dragonfish Are cool
Is this how other documentaries like nat geo, discover, etc film deep sea creatures?
Yes. - I also worked on those - Blue Planet etc. and for many deep sea creatures it was either like this or with a submarine - although that was always very expensive
In the deep sea, are all the fish similar to that one? Like is it because of their environment that they all look like nightmare fish
Yes you are right that they are shaped by the dark place they live - as you know after a few hundred meters very little surface light penetrates the water and many animals hide by using black camouflage
Sucks that I can't own one of those
No it would not be happy in a normal tropical fish tank. If kept in cool and dark maybe (Monterey aquarium USA have tried) but then you only need about £500k in trawler time to find one!
