- Deep Sea Aggregations Explained.
In the deep sea, going alone is rarely an option. The harsh environments of the deep ocean are an imposing challenge for a lone organism to face, as the dark conceals many dangers, while dazzling bioluminescence deceives unwitting prey. For this reason, deep sea animals tend not to spread out. Instead, wherever possible, they come together in their masses to create abundant patches of life in the lonely depths. Hotspots of biodiversity, in stark contrast with the otherwise barren stretch of darkness. Safety in numbers is a fool-proof survival strategy that increases their chances of finding food, evading predation, or having reproductive success in the endless blue. From vibrant coral gardens and deep sea scavenger communities, to expansive jellyfish blooms that cloud the ocean surface, these are the animal aggregations of the oceans.

This channel is criminally unique and undervalued!
I don't think it's under valued.. it's growing so fast and deservedly so 👍✌
Thank you both so so much!!
@@NaturalWorldFacts you are wholeheartedly very welcome!
Way way underrated I thank you for all hard work for great content.
Considering that they ignore _easily accessible_ information on certain animals whilst also ignoring comments correcting such inaccuracies... You'd be better off elsewhere.
I enjoy their videos, too, but I would take what they present with a grain of salt. I won't make some seawater gag, that would be too much.
Seeing those lantern fish dart about and illuminate themselves to avoid the octopuses was mesmerising
They’re incredible!!!
thats how they get ya
The new David attenborough
As we all say, lol 👍👍
Not really
When I hear this gentleman’s voice describing such sea life with such passion I feel like I’m listening to a meditation app. It’s like calming and fascinating at the same time! :) ☮️
either its calming or theres passion...hes talking as softly as Ben Stein and if you know him, theres no inflection of passion like the guys like Carl Sagan or the science guy. If you can imagine passion in that bland tone, then everyone has passion to you, no?
As soon as I saw the science paper covering the largest deep sea colony ever recorded. I instantly thought about you and your channel and it's content and scientific coverage. They were mapping the ocean floor and then stumbled upon Seemingly never ending nest's of ice fish at the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean. Something scientists have never seen before. They have lots to learn about how the colony supports itself. These ice fish have clear blood appearently, they don't have hemoglobin in blood like we do appearently. It's facinating they each have their own circular nest, they think the female passes away after reproduction. Then the male guards the babies eggs.
Whaoa do you have the paper name?
What an amazing video and channel, and a great reminder to us all why our oceans inhabitants are so important. I noticed some clips I have seen from the Nautilus Live channel, another group that does great work. I think I’ll be rewatching this and sharing it to all I know.
Thank you for such a wonderful comment! This one particularly was a joy to put together, and yes Nautilus Live is an obsession of mine 😆 it’s always on in the background, I find the passion in the voices of the scientists infectious!
I agree totally about this video and channel...one of the best around! Every video is stunning. I also enjoy the Nautilus channel, including the commentary...they always sound like they're having a great time doing what they love. Nothing beats Leo's narration, though!
Bro, I swear. You have one of the greatest ASMR voices. Keep doing what you're doing.
Aw thank you so much!
The quality of your programs is next level. Your stuff is so fantastic that I have a hard time understanding why you don't have millions of followers. You will though. Keep it up. You will.
Thank you Amanda. That’s incredibly motivating!!
Very informative.. 👏 Thank you for all your hard work, Leo
Thank you so much, your comments always make me smile :)
I watch one masterpiece only to discover another new one. You're a sublime talent Leo. Thank You for the education as always.
THIS IS SO HIGH QUALITY. After a long day, studying, online school, homework, practicals. This is a Haven. Will be watching your works.
Aww thank you so much Laura!!!! How has school been? Really glad my videos are a nice break :))
@@NaturalWorldFacts busy. Lots. Do you have a team or something???????? These deserve to be on television.
@@NaturalWorldFacts going back to studying. Hope your doing fine tho with all these work. Scary burnouts. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! I got your video from the algorithm so This is A Really Great Thing.
i love to watch your channel when i need to get out of my head and my life. i think it’s important to think about all of the beautiful complex vibrant things that are happening in the world all the time. it’s not just us.
I must say, this video is the equal to any other you've produced to date. You combine excellent musical choices with skilled writing and narration and beautiful videography to explain the incredible complexity and detail of marine ecology.
I hope your time at University is going well and that you'll use your skills to further expand marine biological knowledge in both the academic setting as well as for the general public.
I look forward to more of your videos.
i watch this channel while i work, so thanks for the uploads
That’s so lovely! Thank you for commenting 😊
Your voice is so calming I could listen to these videos all day 😍
Thank you as always 😊 that’s so lovely of you aww!
the sea has amazing animals. some are active, some are sedentary but all are awesome
The part with the sardines reminds me of this one poem from this book of ocean poems I read the heck out of when I was younger, it went something like this:
"Ripples of fear, the flash of a spear--evasive maneuvers, a marlin is here! Zig! Now Zag! Now Dart! Now swerve! A blur of sardines hurtles into the curve. They swivel around and go into a spin, then scatter like sparks when the hunter swoops in. A quicksilver blizzard! Look out below-"
It's been years and I still remember the whole thing! 😂 It's always amazing watching these creatures move!
I would love to see Leo do a video on fresh water fish in the fraser valley British Columbia, from mountain lake fish, to sturgeon in the Fraser River, that would be absolutely superb, and I know of no other channel that could do it better. Thank you for your contributions Leo!!!
Oh that sounds fascinating!!! I’ll put it on my list :)
@@NaturalWorldFacts thank you Leo!!! Made my day!!!
yay you uploaded
Hope you enjoy :D
As excellent as this channel is, it wouldn’t be the same without you, Leo. Thanks for doing an outstanding job. 🐨🇦🇺
i swear your videos are probably better produced, more informative and more interesting than pretty much most documentaries out there, watching them always makes my day better
Perfect learning material....keep up the good work....:)
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that :D
a reminder that despite our efforts to make it smaller, the earth is still a vast and wild place, most of which we don't recognizance.
While our impact can be observed in places like the deepest reaches of the ocean, the potential for such environments to benefit us (in ways other than blind, destructive exploitation) has yet to be ascertained.
We live in an amazing house and we've so far only explored a few of the rooms, yet our actions have repercussions which threaten the foundations.
Thank you for showing me some things that I would otherwise never get to see.
Love the choice of music, it makes the video more exciting to watch and overall gorgeous
Aw I’m so glad! Picking the music is my favourite part :)
One thing I never read about in the comments here is the effects used on the narration. The very subtle reverb is a wonderful touch and gives depth, or volume, to the awesome world you're so beautifully describing to us.
The deep ocean is such a mysterious place. I’ve always been obsessed with it from childhood, it’s truly amazing and one thing that’s always amazed me is the possibilities of all of the fossils from millions of years we have not found waiting in the deep
Just found this channel man. This man has the most calming and soothing voice ever.
Holy moley thank you so much!! 😁
The sea world is amazing!
I've been watching this channel a few years, and I just wanted to say your voice talent is top knotch.👌you were born to do this. And this is indeed vital and very important work. We can't ever let people lose touch with the exquisite beauty and awe of the natural world.
Leo Richards,
Awesome video.
Keep up the good work.
My kids and I love watching your Documentaries.
Your videos are so informative and relaxing to watch .
Excellent work, boss. And what a calm, calm voice. Its amazing. Your voice is perfectly suited for You instructor or a meditation instructor.
Another amazing video! Keep up the great work
AMAZING video and information. The narrator's voice was so soothing and inviting. Thank you for this wonderful video.
This channel is so unique if you want to train your english listening skils. I was preparing for my English exam and have had such a good sleep!
These videos are so fantastic. We appreciate you making them. This channel is so undersubscribed it’s ridiculous
I found this channel very recently and I can't believe I've been missing out for so long. This is amazing content!
"The prospect of plankton platter" 🎶 Excuse me, but not only is this possiby the best short-form natural documentary channel on youtube, it's also written like pure poetry!
i just found out youre two years younger than me, im shook bc you sound so wise and experienced,,,
This might be the best yet. I can’t wait to see what you do in the future - keep it up 🥰
Thank you so so much Allison ☺️
I love this channel, whenever I go into the comments all i see is endless and deserved praise - truly congratulations for your passion and hard work thank you NWF
Dazzling footage with such a soothing voice….so perfect
i was scared that after david attenborough dies i will never have the joy of watching the seas and its creatures the same way again. But you my friend put hope in my future. Please make 1000 more.
I love this channel and it's videos so much!
Thank you so much 🥲
Well done, again! I'm loving your topic selections.
Love the content on this channel, great commentary and information. Would love to see videos on terrestrial animals as well!
Great video! thanks a lot Leo.
Another great video - and particularly intriguing music choice for this one, too. Thank you!
Wonderful work as always! I was most fascinated by how intricate the deep sea sponges were.
Your voice is but a pure gem, making your videos even more rewarding to watch.
Another amazing video, I'm always excited to see you have uploaded. thank you so much.
bruh, good job... we really love your channel
The guys background voice is so relaxing I watch these videos every night to help me fall asleep I will never unsubscribe
Awesome
Notification squad reporting in !
😆 Ready for action?
@@NaturalWorldFacts Got a Bathysphere?
I wish 😭
absolutely incredible, as always!
DUDE, the production is sooooooo good
Your videos are all so amazing and educational
This channel deserves so much more
your videos are so horrifically soothing
Beautiful footage, yet again.
Love your videos!
These are beautifully done videos and contain not just technical information but retain the wonder of the vast ocean and its denizens. It reminds me of watching Jacques Cousteau in amazement as a kid. Thankyou
Great work!
Very soothing. Sooo soothing, sometimes I have to go back several minutes because I miss the point due to your hypnotizing voice 😅😅
Hell yeah 4:00 AM gang again!
GET SOME BLOODY SLEEP
You make brilliant vids mate, supreme excellence in content assembly, narrated with the calm bliss of a Buddhist monk leaving us in awe non-stop to the end...
One question though: could you make a vid about the effects of uv light on underwater life? I know it can be wild what's to be seen that way, yet I can't seem to find more than a couple of doc's where it's partially the subject, and/or a handful of snippets. It seems you know to find amazing footage, please, enlighten us with that stuff
Regardless, _Thank You So Very Much_ for doing what you do. This makes my (our) life (v/s) better cause it makes up for a lot of miserable stuff this site is rich in, and perhaps our lives too
Thanks again Leo
Lovely and stellar as always
Besides the excellence of the movies by Natural World Facts and my own love and passion for the circle of life, I like Leo's soft voice,but not every killing and dying in the deep sea needs a voice over as soft as for lovely puppies playing on a sunny day.
;) ... (:
I really loved the narrator's voice, so soothing. I used the videos to help me sleep sometimes 🙏🏻😊
But the videos are awesome also 👍🏻
Your videos are truly amazing, top quality production and truly great narration defo earned a new sub and frequent watcher. i
Thank you so much Jake!!!
I am both absolutely terrified and yet intrigued.
wonderful work. keep it up
Very beautiful footage!
Beautiful.
This is what RUclips is all about.
thanks for helping me study zoology
Excellent Narration of Deep Sea Animal Adatation. Whale fall community in detail will be more interesting 👍👍
ur videos are so relaxing :)
Just found your channel, awesome videos man 👍👍
Thanks so much Danny 😁
Thank you 💙
I'm terrified of fish but videos like yours are very nice and makes me help overcome the fear of fish alongside get new information, thanks!
fish are friends! take your time, my sister is afraid of statues, some things take a while to over come
I love this channel
It's educational, fascinating and so damn relaxing that I can sleep like a baby while watching a playlist
I love your channel thankyou
you deserve millions of subs and millions of views on all your videos. i honestly thought this was nat geo this whole time???? amazing job
Best channel on RUclips, I wonder what the difference between aggregations and congregations are?
Amazing videos and narration.
🇧🇷
I love your channel so much
Love your videos, can you do one that covers elephant seal deep dives?
The next David Attenborough, please keep it up man. This is amazing.
Bravo, Leo ❤
I just came across this amazing new animal channel. You should really give it a try. All Animals Always.
Love these
So relaxed now.
What a fantastic narrator and channel, BBC should snap you up!
This is pretty cool 😎 I love learning how fish interact with each other
Love your videos also hoping to get some heart😂❤️
Thank you so much 😁☺️ that means the world! ❤️
There is another process on the ocean floor that can create life oasis like hot black smokers and cold seeps. You never mentioned it in your diverse videos. It is called serpentinization and produce heat and some chemicals. In the middle atlantic a place called lost city is a good example of those oasis that are not hot smokers or cold seeps. Thanks for your work!
WOW! 9:57 Avatar plant very nice
The unknown of the ocean makes me both curious and terrified
Good video
