The silky jelly is an escape artist in the deep sea

- When danger approaches, the silky jelly (Colobonema sericeum) uses speed and clever tricks to avoid being eaten. As they make a quick exit, they drop sticky tentacles to confuse potential predators. We have seen silky jellies with tentacles of varying, uneven lengths. This suggests that Colobonema can grow back their lost tentacles.
We have recorded an extensive archive of deep-sea video that offers insight into more than just animal behavior. Our researchers use this trove of data to understand long-term trends in populations of midwater animals. Comparing thousands of observations of deep-sea jellies reveals how their populations ebb and flow over time. Silky jellies are abundant in Monterey Bay, but only between 200-700 meters (660-2,300 feet). During warm El Niño events, they become scarce. As climate change alters the ocean, what will the future look like for Colobonema? We worry they will get squeezed into a smaller and smaller range.
Animals of the deep have built remarkable strategies to thrive in the ocean. But even an escape artist like Colobonema cannot outrun the impacts of climate change. We must act quickly to ensure the future of these denizens of the deep. Understanding how our actions affect the ocean and Earth’s climate is critical. Share what you have learned and help us grow our community of ocean champions.

LOOOOOVE your videos… and would love lots more longer and weirder ones…😊
I don't think jellies are usually fast so this is probably one of the most interesting jellies I know
Jellyfishes are beautiful and fascinating
you guys give me hope :)
Simply WONDER!✨
Wow fascinating!
Mesmerizing 🌞!!
Really appreciate your channel but miss the weekly Thursday Lives wish we could get 1x month for 1 or 2 hours wishing everyone at mbari all the best
...what a beautiful creature ...
Bravo
I hope to see phantom jelly again on this channel
The videos were better with just music. Can you post those too?
The earth and its inhabitants are beautiful, it's up to us to stop destroying them!
What you mean "unlike us" we need a stable environment to D:
♥️
I hate jellyfish…but I still liked this video.
لا إله إلا الله
Always appreciated, unfortunately change is inevitable and whilst possibly losing some incredible creatures other hidden discoveries may be just as fantastic. Please keep up the great work.
Not just probably, we're definitely losing 100-1000 times as many species per year due to our poor practices. There's a world of difference in living ethically versus justifying almost anything that benefits us
I love Mountain Ray Fish farm. Mountain Ray Fish Farm takes care of me.
__*_*Kids: the YT caption is merely a political opinion._**__ I'm always struck at how much the depths of the ocean resembles the cosmos. You have the derisible YT "the self-appointed expert on everything because they said so" caption nagging us that Climate Change is real and it's all our fault which tells me you must have mentioned the words. The science is __not__ settled, there are many just as qualified experts in the field that dispute the alarmist claims on many levels, and they are at least as credible, and who are certainly far more credible than the self-aggrandizing YT. Love the info as always, MBARI.
I remember watching "Mars" on NatGeo a few years ago and enjoyed it immensely until I bailed out during the second season because even though the show is about man's first attempt to reach out into the universe and colonize an entirely different planet, somehow the dire talk about global warming found it's way there.
@@blujay9191 I seem to recall that too. As long as our planet is still covered mostly by water, it will keep chugging along whether we agree or not. If we had much longer life spans, then maybe we'd be more consequential, but not now, not yet, and probably not ever. The fact that teenagers are hard-wired to not take adult advice seriously is pretty good population control (along with the rest of course). Paz y salud.
The very first video uploaded to the MBARI channel - 14 years ago - is an expirement relating to the effects climate change has on the deep ocean. This is not a new opinion MBARI holds, you are simply behind the times.
@@ephixel Dude, I've been alive since the Acid Rain and HFC days, so the one who's still catching up is you. Stop being a gullible mark for the climate change grifters, geez, you're wasting a fookton of your life over a lie.
@@uppityglivestockian MBARI aren't asking nor are they getting my money, they are categorically not grifters. You are just obsessive and paranoid over a well-described and documented phenomena.
Your videos are not very scientific
Amazing Vidéo 😱🦠🔬
Just Thanks 👌🔥♥️
