Now that you have made everyone aware of this astounding discovery. The "Chinese fishing fleet" comprising of thousands of ships, are on their way there. Thanks for your foresight.
That's the exact thought I had the moment I saw the header. Announce to the worlds worst natural resources thieves where to find the fish. Brilliant... not.
Yep, now the days of such a colony are now numbered.
Your name describes you well.
@@checkfactschecking Thank you. I like it too.
@@chucklesthered2338 😂😂😂😂
I am amazed at how clear these images are. The visibility is incredible.
Yeah good thing they weren’t robbing a bank we would never know what the hell we’re looking at
In other unrelated news,
Chinese Fishing fleets move down south to aid local Seal populations.
ain't the truth !
Chinese fishing grounds since ancient times now.
exactly
She should have kept her stupid mouth shut, This time next year it will be all fished out!
So many idiots report on things and then complain later when it is all destroyed!
@@rosswoolley2854 no man you got it all wrong…. It will be in two 2 years when the Germans stop taking photo evidence twice a day….lol 🤣
All jokes aside natures never ceases to amaze me….. excellent reporting
Let's hope, there are already International Laws in place to protect these fishes and to prevent any opportunistic country from sending their fishing fleet, in order to harvest these last remaining fish colony in the world, now that everyone is made aware of this discovery. Ice-Fish of the Antarctic, could well be the latest craze in luxurious foods to be consumed.
China already on their way
It's all over for them fish unfortunately
First thing that came to my mind. I watched one of the greatest fishing grounds on earth get fished out.
@@vincentanguoni8938 saw it happen here in Canada. 100%
The irony is these western liberals Nations want me to take a bus to work instead of my 2 stroke scotty sighting Antarctic ice is melting. But it totally ok for their large diesel powered exploration vessels to cut through the ICE as if there is no tomorrow. All in the name of science. We should leave the artic and Antarctic alone as it needs no further study as the liberal governments are already convinced that climate is changing.
The most difficult part is to simplify complex / key terminologies into simple English without losing the grammar. Science journalist Sandhya Ramesh has done an excellent job. Recent postings including this one is a well explained story with adequate data and explanation. Also this Science segment is a good addition. Keep it up.
Interesting and aroused curiosity in me about marine life. Great explaination. Great job The Print and Sandhya!
Wow, there's a lot of information here, and it's interesting! I just discovered The Print a couple days ago, with Sandhya Ramesh reporting about the Tonga volcanic eruption. I love how detailed her reporting is, and find The Print one of my new favorite channels. Thank you.
Me, too. This is the second after the Tonga report. She is a very impressive young lady.
Best reporting on this particular discovery by far. Would love to hear on further revelations on the same. Great job. Keep it up Sandhya 👍
When nature is left alone everything thrives in harmony. Very nice video.
Rarely is there harmony, for most it's a cycle of boom and bust.
@@SSHitMan Nature is harmony. But it is always changing i guess.
Very interesting discovery. Who would have thought there was this many fish in such an area. Sounds like there are still more questions than answers. I am sure further research was be forth coming. Great article Sandhya.
I think there used to be this many fish everywhere in the world.
shouldn't have made this public.
fishing boats from certain country will soon be seen there. 🤦♀️
Just like what I were thinking. Certain country will be there in just a matter of time. 😥
Why wouldn't there be- people aren't there to fish it dry yet but we're on our way
@@TheBooban there were
Thanks The Print, Sandhya and team for doing this awesome piece of quality journalism ♥️
I was closely analysing Sandhya's delivery. Slow, thoughtful, analytical -- a refreshing change from the typical motormouth anchors we have nowadays.
Great now that we have discovered this new Ecosystem let's see how long it takes to destroy it.
My guess at the end of 2022 the only ice fish will be in an Antarctic lab.
Thank u for the info China will send its 20000 fishing fleet immediately
So will japan
Snap, that's exactly what I first thought...
Way to go Print.. 👍
Quite a platter of news & knowledge channels
Thousands of years went by and humans have still not been able to discover earth completely..i wonder how long will it take to discover other our galaxy 😰
I hope we don't.
Unless we change the "the more we discover, the more we destroy dynamic"
Its well known, for only need to know basics. Ask John Kerry what's really important down there.
The question is now that you have exposed this. how do plan on keeping the trawlers away.?
I love her segments! Not only is she so eloquent, shes also stunning
I love seeing things like this, and honesty about not knowing everything about the fish. I also see so many people trying to bait us into clicking on their videos, only to find there's almost nothing there. I can't speak to all reporting by The Print, but if this and the 2 videos I've seen on Tonga are an example, thank you for having some real substance in a very well produced, well researched video. I also found Ms Ramesh is the Executive Editor, so have high hopes of seeing more of her. Our world is an amazing place, that we absolutely don't know all about. I guess I'm just saying, thanks for the refreshing honesty, and sharing so much of the newness of this discovery with us. Treating us like we have the ability and desire to learn right there with you.
I liked the way you worked “bait us” into the comment under the fish story.
@@JoeOvercoat thank you, but I must have done that without thinking! LOL Thanks for pointing it out, because I got a laugh out of it too!
Absolutely good reporting! Regular tv channels are mind numbingly shallow and lack any spirit of inquiry.
Or integrity.
This young lady is such an interesting story teller!
nice video..... pure science is a good show to keep up with the scientific discoveries 👍👍👍👍👍
Very impressive presentation, both in content and delivery. Thank you.
wonderful piece of information, nice initiative by The Print and Sandhya Ramesh!!!!
Quite a few years ago I worked on a trawler in Antarctic waters. Our primary species was Toothfish but Icefish were also targeted. They have a bizarre ability to completely vanish despite the incredible tech the boats carry. The boat I was on could identify the species, number and size of fish at 1300mtrs deep, it could also swim the trawl up and down side valleys in canyons and still hold course.
A very enigmatic species for commercial fisherman.
They taste delicious and look like a chrome Gurnard.
That's all you find to say ? They taste delicious... In 3 months an army of Chinese factory boats will let 200 of them. You'll soon be in measure to eat the last of them... EAT !
@@vincentkopytek2422 I did one trip at sea with 3 scientific/government observers on board. Australians waters with regulations followed to the letter, a cigarette butt flicked overboard would have finished the trip. A comment below mine asked how they tasted, I responded. You have no idea of my views on food and how we source it. I really don't care about yours.
That was my main concern while watching this. The Chinese or other illegal fishing boats just got tipped off to another huge population of fish to decimate.
@@pkernoob786 They already know along with the Spanish, Russians, Japanese and to a certain extent Norwegians. The Southern Ocean is rife with "pirates". Enormous resources are spent to track and contain illegal vessels and occasionally pirate boats are "detained", crew taken off, catch unloaded and used for target practice by military vessels, the pollution ain't great.. Depending on who's territory you are caught in. It's a losing battle. I suspect that populations like the Ice Fish in the Weddell sea are still around due to the massive cost of building Ice Class vessels, the weather and sea states are horrific, worlds deadliest catch x 10. The main Chinese fleet usually target squid in temperate waters, knocking a layer out of the food chain, less spoken about is the massive take of krill from the Southern Ocean. Another link in the chain being decimated.
Another commonly known animal that can breath through skin is a Frog but what blows my mind is that these fishes don't have hemoglobin.
If corals can grow in the depths of Antarctica then can there be phyto-planktons too? Maybe these fishes are feeding on them.
On a side note this reminds me of an episode from "Into the universe with Steven Hawking". In it he says that maybe there is life on other planets but they don't follow the same laws of biology as we do on Earth. Maybe in some distant cold planet there is life that needs Liquid Nitrogen to survive and not water.
Not all animals and fishes have heemoglobin. Different ways of adaptation
0
Indeed! We only understand carbon-based, water-dependent lifeforms that inhale oxygen and exhale CO2. Even if we were to find life on Titan right now, it could be methane-based or something different than what we know.
@@Kathakathan11 I don't think it will matter to the Chinese.
Sometime this year, about 5,000 Fishing boats with Red flags will show up and scour that place until nothing is left alive.
Just like they are doing everywhere else in the world.
@@johnwolf2829 well I agree about that
wow... this is interesting. your program is interesting and insightful. Keep going
Very interesting info. Amazing how the unexpected get the expected. I suppose the 60m nests is just an estimation grounded on the size of the area. To think those prehistoric icy water still contains enough oxygen to sustain live at those under ice cap conditions.
Cold water holds more oxygen that warmer waters.
Are you thinking that the oxygen gets used up and then it's gone forever? I don't see why oxygen wouldn't be recirculating back into the water and as lemons said cold water also holds more oxygen than warm waters.
Its fascinating that the more questions we solve even more questions come up, regardless of what field of science we are studying.
Yes, absolutely!!
With all the utter madness and stupidity gripping our world today, it is so cool to something good...I confess to being completely transfixed!
ThePrint and Ms. Ramesh, thank you!
Amazing discovery ,but there should be international laws from preventing hunting and fishing
Good news update: last night it was reported that as part of this year winter Olympics, the fishing fleet of the CCP went down and took all 60 million of the ice fish to be served at the Olympics and also to form part of the artificial snow being used for the Olympic events. In honor of the Uighur who helped to light the Olympic torch this morning, other Uighurs were kind enough to volunteer to serve as bait in this endeavor.
Let's not disturb them
Leave them alone. Man has destroyed so much.
Largest Chinese fishing boat factory spotted heading Antarctica after scientist discovered these colonies.
SANDYHA You should be a runway model , actress or Miss Universe contestant but your brilliant mind will not permit that I'm sure.
If you ever want a lazier, more pampered & lucrative lifestyle, working less and earning more Holly or Bolly Vogue Cosmo or Elle, you would kill it in any capacity. Stunning brilliant and beautiful
Great science communication! Thank you!
This is the most sensible video from the Print. I am surprised the channel didn't attribute the discovery or the existence of fish colony to Congress and its fearless leaders.
It's sad that these shoals have been discovered as now they will be decimated by those countries that are already destroying the world's fish populations.
You’re absolutely right. Now that the location of these fish has been announced. We will soon be seeing local fast food restaurants advertising their new Ice Fish sandwiches. When this research fleet goes back next year to observe their discovery, there won’t be one fish left. The location of these fish should never have been published…..You think scientists on a “research” vessel would know better.
Good work and a good story covered and nicely orated.. As a scuba diver myself it's always interesting to learn under sea mysteries
Excellent follow-up questions for further research at the end of the video.
I wish this was never discovered.
We humans eventually find a way to ruin everything we find in the nature.
It's fantastic how some of you with youtube channels decided to publicize this so thoroughly so that now China can easily find and deplete all of them. You are actually Encouraging their decimation!
If I had discovered it, I would have deleted the images and video and let them thrive. No offence, but in the name of science and tourism we destroy everything.
Good summary but also could have mentioned that the Scientists were from the Alfred Wegener Institute in Potsdam/near Berlin.
Amazing information, thank you for such an informative piece. The part where they absorb oxygen through the skin is a real revelation as that would also negate the need for a set of 'lungs' if humans do evolve in the same manner.
Lovely......& a great haircut too Maam....compliments
Science: Largest fish colony discovered under Antarctica.
Humans: Let's go and check if these fish are edible. Food problem solved.
Subscribed on the strength of this fascinating video alone. So interested was I , that the beauty of the young lady almost escaped my attention.
From now on I am only going to Sandhya Ramesh for all my science news. 😉
Ya (lack of red blood cells) it was driven by lower temperatures, but you need to look at how much more oxygen there is in 0 Celsius water and 10 degree or more it makes sense.
You think that “scientists” on a research vessel would know better than to disclose the location of such a natural treasure to all of the international fishing fleets.
We may have given the Fishing Trawler a new Hunting Ground.
This is the most interesting section of the Print. Presentation-wise as well.
Thank you, very interesting video, AND very well explained
When speaking of a single species, plural for fish is fish, not fishes. If discussion is about more than one species of fish, the term fishes is used. Still a very interesting article about an important discovery.
I hope people do not eat these fish. Because releasing info on the discovery including on the location and size could spark a huge spike in commercial fishing fleets to head there. So I hope not.
When Exxon CEO Darren Woods heard this news about the ice fish, he said "Quick, let's spill some oil on them".
Great sandhya
FYI. Fishes is not a word unless it is used by scientists to describe multiple types of fish in a single sentence. Plural for fish is fish. It's just fish. "There were millions of fish there"
Great video! I am fascinated by this discovery. I can’t wait so see what else we will learn about this incredible animal.
Glad you guys found this great job but we should leave them alone.
China: "All the icefish are belong to us"
This woman is so smart and elegant.
Thanks for this video. Now we know where to go for a bountiful fish harvest
60 million fish nest
Chinese fisherman: Turns on doom music
Please add some slides in the video to understand the important keywords 🙏
From Pgh, Pa. Great Job !
Humans are thinking about how can we devour these ice fish.
Do not disturb… seems like a good place to go and not be disturbed.
Amazing!!!...People have the habbit to destroy evrything with our questions...hope this will remain how it is...
Very very exciting piece of discovery! Those fishes like that place, for sure! it will be great to see those eggs hatching and the hatchling going into the sea!
She just doomed them all to the Asian fishing armada !
Great think of all the money we can make exploiting this place! I’m so excited.
And they counted every nest individually, right?
Otherwise you would say "estimated".
The fish are finish now. There will people catching them soon.
Should not have told anyone.
A tip for the next fishes video. The plural of fish, is "fish". As in..... I had one fish a year ago, I have 1,000 fish today.
I love her voice for narrating.its nice
This is awesome we can exploit all these fish now
Big mistake. Now the Chinese will immediately launch a flotilla to "harvest" this new delicacies.
Just wait until the Chinese fishermen find out about it.. the 60 million nests will soon dwindle down to just 60 nests..
I'm surprised no one pointed out how likely the image is computer generated
Great video. Why couldn't you use images of the nests as thumbnail for the video? Making use of good thumbnails would give better reach to your videos
It's easy to do A vs B testing with thumbnails. Image of cute human female probably beats obscure fish most of the time!
But of course I agree with your main point, thumbnails and titles are vitally important! Veritasium has an interesting video showing how great the impact can be ruclips.net/video/S2xHZPH5Sng/видео.html
The Ccp will be up there to take advantage of this find before you can say 1.3 billion people need to eat hopefully we can protect this area
This has possible applications in space exploration! If we as scientists could figure out a way to remove hemoglobin from the blood and replace it with another substance that also transports oxygen; that doesn't become viscous, we could in theory expand on the field of cryonics and send travellers to distant habitable planets, without the need for excessive resources.
That's a great jump in possibility.
It really does seem that at some point we will have some type of stasis/cryonics and the ability to reverse it.
I still don't understand why hemoglobin is not needed. Plenty of amphibians take in oxygen through the skin, but that doesn't seem to be a compelling justification on it's own. Nor as a camouflage.
Scientists: look what we discovered! Chinese commercial fishing fleets: Thanks! On our way!
I'm Cajun! I have a recipe already and with a name like Icefish, you know it will go with beer and hush puppies!
I could watch her all day .
wow, so let's catch them all until nothing is left. The fishing companies will appreciate this discovery.
Came for the fish but was blown away by the beauty of the female narrator.
The nutrients come from the dead fish found in the nests. The guard fish will die when the eggs hatch to provide food for the babies.
I hope the ocean mining weenies don't screw it up. They already fuckishimi'd the Pacific
Hello Sandhya, Great Work.
Could You make a Video(or reference) on Science Communication Track and your journey and background?
Look up her LinkedIn profile. You will get an idea.
@roflcopter what? People are genuinely interested in following certain non-traditional paths in their careers. So looking up a LinkedIn profile gives you a quick look into how their career path flowed. Nothing is creepy in that. Maybe you will realise that when you grow up
@roflcopter like I said, when you grow up you will hopefully recognize the difference between looking up a LinkedIn profile (Fyi, a LinkedIn profile is like a CV/resume and maybe one profile pic) and creeping out on a FB page or Instagram. But I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon. Cheers.
Nice. We've officially disturbed everything everywhere.
We shouldn't be telling anyone about this. They won't be there for much longer
I've seen multiple news stories about this find. This one is the most comprehensive. I feel like now I understand what they found and what the significance of the find is. Great job!
What were they called before their evolution into ice fish?
Woww just amazing very interesting discovery excellent job
i'd pay to hear her say "octopusses" over and over. : P
Not so far ago, oceans across the would have had such colonies.
