The biggest (and most mysterious!) migration in the world happens every night in the ocean as 10 billion tons of zooplankton swim to the surface to feed. This undersea journey is known as Diel vertical migration, and it occurs in every ocean in the world. By learning more about why this happens, science can unlock the secrets behind other phenomena, like our biological clocks…and even climate change.

A friend of mine did an anatomy paper on Euphausia pacifica, the North Pacific krill, way back in our day. One section was on the Diel Vertical Migration that these zooplankton are part of. He called that section: "The Rise and the Fall of the Roaming Empire"!
Which one?
The western roaming empire? Or the eastern one?
Ok that's actually witty.
I respect that he never made a pun regarding the fact the expert on a non-avian migration is named Bird.
Imagine how terrifying it was when you are a soldier in the submarine and detect the plankton mass. It is very easy to assume the mass as 1 giant creature that makes it way to the surface everyday but ignore the submarine.
It would not be crazy to think there are probably a few forums or websites where someone is commenting on a mystery / conspiracy / cryptozoology website about that time where they were in the army and had that crazy experience detecting what must have been the Bloop Godzilla or a megalodon on their sonar and how it was classified and nobody talked about it ever again lol 😂 would bet on that.
2:50 Fun etymological fact. The related Greek verbs πλάζω (plázō) and πλανάω (planáō) both have senses meaning "to wander," and are where we get the words "plankton" _and_ "planet."
πλάζω means make
I really, really like how happy Mrs. Bird is to talk about her stuff. There is nothing like someone who loves their field lighting up when talking about it, it's magic.
Should be miss Fish
In 1970, there was a total solar eclipse in the Gulf of Mexico just north of the Yucatan. One of the biological oceanographers at Texas A&M monitored the vertical migration during the eclipse.
Pretty much any species of animal that have nocturnal activities (certain birds, bats, insects, etc) wake up during an eclipse and start doing nighttime activities.
This "prank" by nature must really confuse them when their whole rhythm gets unbalanced.
8:56 "release waste products, where they get eaten and die" is such a poetic depiction of life cycle
True, also you're here now lol. Now that you're in the edutainment videos the only yt genre I haven't seen you in are vtuber comment sections and really, really niche videos I think.
As an oceanography student, this topic is my Marine Bio lecturer's ultimate weapon on checking a student wether or not they paid attention to the 3rd introduction class 😂 aah brings back the nostalgia (fortly i remembered it lol)
Amazing content! Thank you! There are so many species living in the ocean that are super important for the planet and we don’t even think about them! Our crew went to the Antarctica and found out that this vast and fragile ecosystem depends on a far smaller resident: krill. Around 400 million tons live in the Southern Ocean, where they provide a valuable food source and remove damaging CO2 from the atmosphere. But they are at risk, not only because of climate change. Our team dived deep into the topic to understand if we can still save the krill, and if not, what consequences we will be facing.
Hi Joe, Bob here. Great episode, I didn’t realize how massive vertical migration is. Thanks.
thanks bob
@@definitelynotwalter idk man I think it might be Walter
Per usual and after ALL these years: Your videos are THE BEST on every level. THANX, Joe!
Dr Joe, you're one in a krillion. Keep on making those puns!
P.S. Nice sound padding on the wall. It's in the shape of the channel logo! Also bestagons and whatnot.

LOVE IT!!! Thank you! Our most precious possession & home - the earth is continually fascinating! We will never run out of things to uncover that for all time were considered ordinary and uninteresting. The earth IS a living, breathing entity!
Love the sound effects!
Of course you forget that Ray Stantz was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration.
Who ya gonna call?
When the zooplankton vertically migrate: *It's Krill-er Time*
Great video Thank you
Great video, thank you for always bringing excellent information to the public:)
Loved the show logo in the door pattern!
It was cool seeing you today at the Cook Museum at the electricity exhibit :)
Thank you!
Science makes me happy I can't wait to create a new element
This is extremely great, less than 10 minute gang yess
That was just informative.
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing. :-)
I love that you used the famous "Wilhelm scream" at 8:59 when the fish got eaten. 😅
If I'm not mistaken, the largest horizontal migration of biomass is annual and is located south of South Africa. Does anyone have an idea of the migratory mass?
Ten billion tons daily? It's impressive - I had no idea.
Thank you
Super Nice, didn't even know that plankton could do this!
I miss your videos man!
Hey Joe! Did life on earth start only once? Since we have only once common ancestor? But if it happened once can it happen again? Love your channel!!!!
Damn straight! Never say sorry for an epic pun.
MedCram talked about melatonin research that pointed out that our melatonin levels in daytime are orders of magnitude greater than the nighttime levels produced by the pituitary. Daytime infrared from the sun penetrates into the body, triggering melatonin production by mitochondria all over the body where IR reaches. It is a critical factor for certain metabolic processes, so it seems our nighttime supply is in part to compensate for the lack of production, supplying around 5% of our daily melatonin supply.
So, we, too, are responding to the daily cycles of solar infrared and the nighttime loss of melatonin production.
When it comes to puns, you Krilled it
8:55 I have heard PBS Studios use the meme fard sound effect, my life is complete now.
All this effort and the plankton still wasn't able to successfully steal the Krabby Patty formula. What a shame!
Pretty amazing
Out of context question!
Did you got your channel logo idea from the pattern on the door behind you?
Nice
You're Krill-ing Larry!
Why haven’t I ever heard of this before?!?!!!!
Sonar... please continue to tell me how interesting plankton are with your sonar. 😂
The closing joke was solid
Did you know in the end when you said "it's krilling us" it reminded me of DBS abridged and how krillin (the character) says "it's krillin time".🤣😂💯
i feel like we really only have a one in a krillion chance to actually get the ''powers that be'' to pay attention and do the right thing.
That pun was about as bad as his pun was. I approve!
I just watched 3 videos in a row that had the Wilhelm Scream in it..... 😂
Interesting
wow 😮
You krilled it, srsly. 😂🎉
kool stuff
Fascinating, they want the Krusty Krab secret formula😂
8:56 caught me off guard 😂
woah, first time being this early
Fix the volume levels please .....
Im curious what caused that dip in atmospheric growth (without dip in emmisions according to the graph) around 1991ish.. different data sets?.. outliers peakkng through?.. actual phenomenon?
Hey Joe didn't know you were Dragon ball z fan 😂😂
Nice one !
Why am I crushing on dr Kelly …
earth month! woohoo
You'd think that the act of using sonar creates a difference to whatever life is there.. As in just because we won't hear it, other life ( like whales & a subs sonar) would feel the vibration &/or hear it , changing behavior or at least confusing what can be drawn from what we see/hear..
DBZ reference on point!
Nah they're obviously moving because they're trying to steal the Krabby patty formula
My natural circadian rhythm is weird! Since I've retired & no longer need to worry about a job, I sleep from around 06.00 until 14.00.
Why is Goldeen wearing scuba glasses in the thumbnail? 😂
Zooplankton: Hello, Sam.
Phytoplankton: Hello, Ralph.
I thought it was about Big Foot.... he is the worlds champion
Okay, I will go look one of my freshwater aquarium which have millions of tiny inverts at the middle of night
hi Joe
Man to think the inhabitability of the planet depends on such tiny and barely noticable things. The world is such a complex place.
I have watched Natural World Facts so I KNOW EVERYTHING
But being honest, didn't we have an episode about it before? I swear I saw you say something about this some time ago... am I having a deja vu?
Neat
Damn, when I heard it was underwater I actually thought this was going to be about lanternfish.
tapping into this process, you can make a carbon negative power source, with otec systems.
Thanks for not being sorry, I really enjoy your little jokes. :)
See? Even benthic life forms have visa free travel allowing vertical "migration".

*3,000 feet?* You mean *1,000 meters?* The ocean zone diagram is in meters (as it should be for science), so it doesn't help us understand the information easier by talking in feet. For the younger viewers considering careers in STEM, mixing of imperial and metric units harms their numeracy essential for their career success. Everyone watching a science channel is familiar with metric.
Get over it.
@@SlashHarkenUltra You seem to be agitated. What's wrong? You should just take a pill and Get over it.
And THANK YOU UwU
That ain't migration. That's commuting. Lol
To add to Joe's joke, "I guess you could say, we're going to end up like Krilin from DragonballZ, very dead"
chatGpt logo is on the background
I was kindof hoping it was the unexplained mass sponge migration Ray Stantz witnessed
Within 2 days!
Ok... NET migration. The Arctic Tern still holds the distance record.
so we are speeding up the evolution of plankton now?
Oh i thought it was going to be lantern fish.
Cooooookoooooool
The problem with the sinking of CO2 into the ocean depth is that many small animals that build shells and exoskeletons cannot do this if the acidity gets too high. Already not this is starting to become a problem, alongside the temperature incease. The IPCC clearly makes that point.
Within 84,500 views!
Thought this was the border, my bad.
❤
Migration seems a strong word for something that happens daily
Nội dung của bạn làm sẽ thú vị nếu như tôi hiểu được ngôn ngữ của bạn, thật tuyệt đó
1:30 her surname is great, but unfortunately i'm Archer fan...
Lol you’re welcome! Lol thank you Joe
Biomass!? Tyranids would like to know your location...
200 feet = 60 meters
👍👏
