Acclimation of Osmoregulatory Function in Salmon Download a printable version of this essay. As you know, salmon spend most of their life in the open ocean, where they reach sexual maturity, but lay their eggs gravel beds at the upper reaches of (freshwater) streams. When the eggs hatch, the young salmon spend several months migrating downstream to the ocean where they remain for some 3-5 years. When mature, the adult salmon return to mouth of stream where they hatched (they remember the taste

David Attenborough has become the voice we associate with all things beautiful in nature, but he's never shied away from showing the harrowing destruction that humans visit upon our planet. This, however, might be the biggest gut-punch he's delivered yet. In his latest documentary "OCEAN," Attenborough presents us with unique footage showing the devastating effects of bottom trawling on the seafloor, right where the action is happening. The filmmakers placed a camera underwater, showing us the

We’ve got better visuals of Mars than we do of our own ocean floor—and by a much larger margin than you’d think. A new study in Science Advances crunched the numbers from 43,681 deep-sea dives conducted since 1958 and comes to a mind-blowing conclusion: we’ve visually observed just 0.001% of the deep seafloor. That’s an area just slightly larger than Rhode Island—or about a tenth the size of Belgium—across about 70% of the planet. The average depth of the ocean is 12,080 feet (3,682 meters), m

The colossal squid was identified and named 100 years ago, but humans have never actually seen one swimming around in its natural habitat. A remotely operated vehicle deployed from the Schmidt Ocean Institute has now captured footage of the juvenile colossal squid on March 9. It happened near the South Sandwich Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, about 430 miles southeast of South Georgia Island. Any discovery like this is a big deal, but this one is a bit cuter. This isn't just any colossal s

Picture an ocean world so deep and dark it feels like another planet – where creatures glow and life survives under crushing pressure. This is the midwater zone, a hidden ecosystem that begins 650 feet (200 meters) below the ocean surface and sustains life across our planet. It includes the twilight zone and the midnight zone, where strange and delicate animals thrive in the near absence of sunlight. Whales and commercially valuable fish such as tuna rely on animals in this zone for food. But t

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration wants YOU—to help identify a car that evidently sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean with the USS Yorktown in 1942. A NOAA-led team spotted the previously unknown car (pictured above) during a recent dive to the wreck, which hadn’t been known to be carrying a vehicle. In June 1942, Yorktown was stricken by Japanese vessels, including the aircraft carrier Hiryu and the submarine I-168, during the Battle of Midway—a naval battle that marked a

To combat climate change, a team of scientists are sucking CO2 out of the ocean. The project, dubbed SeaCURE, began operating a small-scale trial this year on England's south coast, the BBC reports. It hangs its hopes on a simple premise: that the ocean is the world's largest carbon sink, absorbing nearly a third of all CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. A flurry of projects have explored capturing carbon directly from the atmosphere. SeaCURE explores an alternative route. Instead of capturing c

What are ocean scientists doing to employ iron fertilization? In the 1990s and early 2000s, a series of experiments tested iron fertilization in the open ocean. These tests consistently found that adding iron led to phytoplankton blooms, However, the extent to which that carbon sank to the depths wasn’t always measured, and the phytoplankton were not able to use all of the iron for growth before the mineral sank. Researchers did document changes in phytoplankton communities, with diatoms becom

Scientists have caught a colossal squid on camera in its natural environment for the very time, according to a report by the BBC . This happened around 100 years after the species was originally discovered, proving just how vast and mysterious the ocean truly is. The squid is a juvenile, so it’s not nearly as large as its namesake suggests. It clocks in at around 11.8-inches long. Adult colossal squid can grow up to 23 feet in length and weigh up to 1,100 pounds. They are the heaviest invertebr

For over a century, the colossal squid has been one of the deep sea’s most slippery enigmas. Known mostly through bits and pieces found in whale bellies and a handful of dying adults spotted by fishers, this 23-foot-long (7-meter-long) legend has long evaded a proper close-up. Until now. On March 9, aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel Falkor (too), researchers caught their white whale—er, squid.

We're inching ever closer towards unearthing the secrets behind one of the most enduring marine mysteries: the fabled "milky seas" — glowing stretches of water that cast the ocean in an otherworldly haze of green and white, spanning to the horizon and beyond. The nocturnal phenomenon has haunted and mystified sailors for centuries. But they're incredibly rare, and scientists have struggled to determine what causes them. The milky seas are believed to be produced by some form of bioluminescence,

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is a strange, alien world. Covered in rivers and lakes of liquid methane, icy boulders and dunes of soot-like "sand," its topography has long fascinated scientists and invited speculation on whether lifeforms might lurk beneath the moon's thick, hazy atmosphere.

As seawater creeps further into coastlines, salt threatens to pollute the freshwater reserves that people depend on.
