Mucky Secrets - The Marine Creatures of the Lembeh Strait

1:32:25

Mucky Secrets is a documentary about the marine life of the Lembeh Strait at the heart of the Coral Triangle off north Sulawesi in Indonesia. The DVD is available at

The Lembeh Strait is a popular scuba diving destination, famed for its excellent muck diving. A huge diversity of exotic marine creatures can be found on the mucky seabed, including everything from tropical fish to benthic sharks to nudibranchs. Critters compete for survival with an armoury including camouflage, mimicry, toxicity, and dazzling coloration.

Mucky Secrets is an excellent resource for scuba divers, aquarists, and marine biology students. The documentary features underwater macro footage from many of Lembeh's famous dive sites including Critter Hunt, Police Pier, Tanjung Kusu-Kusu, Nudi Falls, Aer Perang, Jahir, Makawide, Nudi Retreat, Retak Larry, TK (Teluk Kembahu), Hairball and Aw Shucks.

There are subtitles/CC tracks for the narration and for the scientific and common names of the marine species, and dive site names.

500 + Fish Identification Documentary by Pano4life

52:31

A few years ago I was stung by the Diving virus. I quickly became an instructor and over time I was able to accumulate more than 6000 dives mainly in Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia. During these dives, I noticed how fragile the ecosystems are. I came up with the idea of filming everything I could for fear of not seeing it again one day. Of course I could not take my camera for each of these dives but I do it whenever I have the opportunity.

Today we were able to identify and filmed in full HD 500 different underwater species. This documentary of 60 minutes retraces these different species with the scientific description and the Latin name of each species.

Our goal is to show the world how precious the oceans are and full of life that unfortunately the humanity is likely to endanger ...

We sometimes forget that the oceans provide us with more than 60% of the oxygen we we need to live. Half of the photosynthesis and removal of carbon dioxide takes place in the oceans. Marine species play a key role in this regulation. It is therefore important to identify and protect them. Unfortunately for humans, this protection is not a priority. On the contrary, the human pressures on the oceans are increasing every day, the impact is irreversible!

Through this documentary, we hope to be able to arouse interest on the various underwater species and their protection. We also say to ourself that if our future generations also want to be able to contemplate the beauty of our planet, we have to act quickly! If we continue like this, our grandchildren will not even see a quarter of what you see in this documentary.

I would especially like to thank my partner and dive Buddy Lily Romero who filmed and helped me editing this amazing video. As well as laurent Minsart for some macro shots in Lembeh, Indonesia. Special Big Up to all those who participated by loan or by far at this documentary, Dive Guide Local Boat Captain.

Deep Sea Creatures National Geographic Documentary 2017 HD

53:56

Deep Sea Creatures [National Geographic Documentary 2017 HD]

The Deep sea creature refers to organisms that live below the photic zone of the ocean. These creatures must survive in extremely harsh conditions, such as hundreds of bars of pressure, small amounts of oxygen, very little food, no sunlight, and constant, extreme cold. Most creatures have to depend on food floating down from above.
These creatures live in very demanding environments, such as the abyssal or hadal zones, which, being thousands of meters below the surface, are almost completely devoid of light. The water is between 3 and 10 degrees Celsius and has low oxygen levels. Due to the depth, the pressure is between 20 and 1,000 bars. Creatures that live hundreds or even thousands of meters deep in the ocean have adapted to the high pressure, lack of light, and other factors.

The depths of the ocean are festooned with the most nightmarish creatures imaginable. You might think you’re safe, because these critters live thousands of feet down in a cold dark abyss, but the vampire squid, which looks like a nightmare umbrella, and the frilled shark—a literal living fossil—will live on in the recesses of your mind long after you’ve clicked away. Enjoy these deep sea horrors and try to have a relaxing day afterward.

Undiscovered islands in Atlantic Ocean - Wildlife Secret Animals

43:24

The vast ocean separates continents meanwhile it also boasts hundreds of small island. From sandy beaches to remote and untouched nature

Scattered across all 7 seas and from the tropics to the Antarctic are the UK's Overseas Territories some of the most remote places on the planet. This Documentary we explore this natural wealth of life in locations so remote that few have ever visited.

Thousands of miles from the nearest anything these islands scattered across all 7 seas from the Antarctic to the tropics are amongst the remotest places on earth. But life here isn't lonesome. They teem with life from huge penguin colonies to the world's richest coral reefs. Because many are so remote they have acted as laboratories of evolution shaping life in unexpected and dramatic ways. Thrushes that once fed on seeds have evolved a taste for meat. Turtles have become extreme navigators and seabirds nest on single islands and nowhere else in the world. These islands all have one thing in common they are all British overseas territories....

Undiscovered islands in Atlantic Ocean Islands born of fire run from the equatorial Atlantic down to Antarctica. Many are now home to unique species and all have intriguing stories to tell. From huge penguin turtle and seabird colonies to the world's richest coral reefs discover the UK's remarkable distant isolated territories.

Chasing Coral | FULL FEATURE | Netflix

1:28:59

Chasing Coral taps into the collective will and wisdom of an ad man, a self-proclaimed coral nerd, top-notch camera designers, and renowned marine biologists as they invent the first time-lapse camera to record bleaching events as they happen. Unfortunately, the effort is anything but simple, and the team doggedly battles technical malfunctions and the force of nature in pursuit of their golden fleece: documenting the indisputable and tragic transformation below the waves. With its breathtaking photography, nail-biting suspense, and startling emotion, Chasing Coral is a dramatic revelation that won’t have audiences sitting idle for long.

The Underwater Wonderland of Australia | Ocean Documentary

Australia stands for tourism icons like the Ayers Rock, the Pinnacles and the Kakadu National Park. Crocodiles, Koalas and Kangaroos are possibly the most popular animals of the world. Venomous snakes, and spiders are in focus of the media as well as the famous great Barrier Reef and the Ningaloo Reef - the reef of the whale sharks. This under-water documentary concentrates on the two big coral reefs. The Australian Paul Waghorn is one of the underwater specialists of the Mountain Pictures team. He possibly spends more hours underwater than on land. He describes the biodiversity off the two reefs at the east and west coast of Australia as a symphony of the ocean. It teaches us to understand not only the animals but also our own humans variety of species as a miracle. Nature does not know man made rules and religions and it is anything but a happy wonderland. The species have developed her own methods of surviving. Pauls cinematic concert is asking the spectator to think about wrong or right, good and bad, stupidity and cleverness in the world of plants and creatures of the ocean.

► Vicious Beauties - The Secret World Of The Jellyfish

44:04

The family of the jellyfish or medusae are not only the most venomous ocean inhabitants but also some of the deepest divers. Medusae have been found as deep as 8.300 meters. Their existence is paramount to the oceans. Many of the large migrations of fish and mammals would not be possible without the existence of jellies. They are a crucial part of the food chain, many fish feed on jellies and in turn mammals or larger migratory predators feed on fish.The scientist Gerhard Jarms of the Zoological Institute of the University of Hamburg takes us on a journey into the exotic world of jellyfish. He is one of the most renowned medusae scientists in the world. Our expedition begins in the northern Atlantic where we will find the mysterious periphylla. We will continue on to the Azores in the Atlantic. There we will search for the XY jellies that seek shelter in caves in rough seas.
In the Pacific we will swim with the jellies in the famous Jellyfish Lake and last but not
least we will explore some of the world's most beautiful coral reefs of western Papua. And at the very end danger lurks around every corner as we set out to search off Australia's coast for the fatal sea wasp- one of the most poisonous ocean inhabitants.

The Most Intelligent Animal on Earth? | Unedited Movie - Aliens of the Deep Sea | Nature Documentary

43:34

How has the octopus become so intelligent and capable of thinking in the abstract? Watch fascinating and often hilarious experiments to see just how smart they are.

After this video, you'll never think about the octopus the same.

In Aliens of the Deep Sea we get to see how octopuses behave in the wild too. Off the coast of Vancouver Island, underwater divers are watched by a huge octopus - a ghost like creature that lurks until it feels it's safe to emerge and be seen. It's an eerie encounter.

This incredible documentary illustrates why the octopus is one of the ocean's most complex and enigmatic creatures which should be studied, not served in restaurants.

The octopus uses cognitive reasoning to make deductions and understand its environment. It can shape shift, change color and texture on the fly to blend in with its surroundings to become either predator or defend itself from becoming prey.

In one novel experiment we see an octopus wrap its tentacles around a screw-top jar that has a crab inside it. In slow but determined fashion, the octopus successfully opens the jar to get to its prey. The jar is unlike anything it would encounter in the wild - the octopus has used cognitive reasoning, not instinct, to catch its well-deserved lunch.

The octopus has lived side-by-side with humankind from our earliest days. But it's only now that we're beginning to unravel the animal's secrets, and the extent of its formidable brain-power.

Watch as an octopus slips out of its tank and slithers surreptitiously across a concrete floor. Is it making a break for freedom? Not at all. It knows that its prey is just a short distance away in another tank.

As we learn, the octopus can move on land as well as underwater and the little round trip it has taken is not just to get from point A to point B. It's also taking this little detour because it's curious about the world it is living in.

It's hard to believe that this animal is simply a mollusk. As far as his family tree goes, the octopus is more closely related to an oyster or a snail than to any other species of animal.

And yet, as octopuses behave like shape shifters, moving in and out of tiny openings to get their reward, they are working out solutions the way humans do.

They are able to think in the abstract.

In Aliens of the Deep Sea we get to see how octopuses behave in the wild too.

Amazingly, with all its powerful traits, the octopus has never become king of the sea. Researchers think that it's because of the female's short life span.

They give up everything, including their life, for their eggs. But this sad reality may also be the reason that octopuses have an innate intelligence they have no choice but to learn by trial and error.

Just how has an animal that is so different from humans become so intelligent?

From Spain to Vancouver Island and finally to Capri, Italy, follow scientists as they try to understand how the octopus has evolved to have such intelligence, even by our standards.

Through fascinating experiments audiences will discover there is still much to know about this mystifying creature.

►Track of the Tuna

51:33

For over 4000 years fishermen have been catching tuna during their migration through the Mediterranean. During the antiquity they were hailed as the manna of the oceans. We take a look at the long journey of the tuna to its mating grounds and witness their struggles including massive amounts of hunters and the strong presence of fishing boats.

Symbiosis & Anemonefish - Reef Life of the Andaman - Part 18

6:16

Symbiosis, including anemonefish & clownfish. Part 18 of my DVD, Reef Life of the Andaman, available at or view the whole 2-hour video at

In this video we see how fishes form symbiotic relationships with other marine life in order to defend themselves. First we find sea urchin cardinalfish, Siphamia versicolor, protecting themselves amongst the spines of sea urchins and crown-of-thorns starfish at Koh Bon, near the Similan Islands, and in the Mergui Archipelago. This is known as a commensal relationship, whereby one partner in the relationship benefits while the other receives neither benefit nor harm.

Anemonefish form symbiotic relationships with sea anemones. This is a mutually-beneficial symbiotic relationship. While the fish are protected, their faeces provide food for the anemone and they help keep it free of parasites. We see skunk clownfish, Clark's anemonefish, saddle anemonefish and the well-known ocellaris clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) finding their home in various species of sea anemone such as the magnificent anemone, Heteractis magnifica.

Porcelain anemone crabs, Neopetrolisthes maculatus, are found in sea anemones in the Similan Islands, while a magnificent shrimp, Ancylomenes magnificus, shelters under the stinging tentacles of a tube anemone at Burma's Shark Cave, itself covered in phoronid worms.

Finally we see how small and juvenile fish hitchhike in jellyfish to protect themself from predators.

Australia. The Great White Shark | Full Documentary

50:00

We found the great white shark in the waters of the south coast of Australia, a crowded fed by waters from the Antarctic ice continent life. With its two-ton, this great wild predator prowls the Australian beaches in search of its most coveted prey, the sea lion. We dive on the Australian continent to see the beautiful and varied creatures that hide in its waters feared of the white shark.

▶ Documentary Australia. The Great White Shark

The waters that bathe the south of Australia are a link preserved from a former union whit the Antarctic.
For the sharks, this is a region of plenty. The basic design of their bodies is 300 million years old, and is literally perfect. But only one of them is called Death. Beyond the reef lies the kingdom of the great killer, the vast blue, the cold waters which are tinged with red when hunger demands. The great white shark, two thousand kilos of savage strength at the service of a mouth. A prodigious animal which, after hundreds of year of blind terror, we are now learning to admire.

As we move further up the west coast of Australia, and approach the Tropic of Capricorn, corals are more in evidence, and start to form reefs. The coral reef is a very different ecosystem from that of the cold waters of the south. The coral reef is like a gigantic self-contained organism, in which energy passes from one layer to the next, with just two essential ingredients - the sun and the sea. The corals are specialists in poor waters like these, provided they are clear.

We arrive in the dominions of the great white shark, the dark blue waters. And here, a tragedy, repeated every year, is about to occur. The sea lions sense that the breeding season is approaching. Along the coast of southern Australia and Tasmania, they begin to gather near suitable places, playing and swimming with their characteristic skill.
The great white sharks like nothing better than a fresh fur seal – warm red meat, covered in delicious fat, clean and easy to digest. But the great white shark comes to its annual rendezvous with the seal cubs. All it need do is approach the colony, and wait for its chance.
This individual is eight metres of sheer fury, and almost two thousand kilos of expert hunter. Though it is a fish, its blood is ten degrees centigrade warmer than the surrounding water, so its muscles perform better in attack. It detects the electrical fields generated by its victims, and it is equipped with a system of navigation based on the earth’s magnetic field. Its sense of smell is infallible, and the muscles around its eyes are warmer than the others, to give it optimum sight.

The black legend of the white shark has been forged on the basis of exaggerations. Its fame as a monster, devourer of men, is far in excess of the reality. But, for decades, it has served as an excuse for uncontrolled fishing. Their impressive appearance made them the most sought after of all fisherman’s trophies.
In reality, attacks on humans are rare and, strangely, many of the victims survive. Like these three mutilated men, who know spend their lives killing the white sharks that attacked them. The white shark possesses the curiosity of all prowlers.
We now know that the white shark only attacks men by mistake or in self-defence, when in these cloudy waters it mistakes them for its normal prey, the sea lions. It is so elusive that, in seas where there are now hardly any seals, and the white sharks eat other prey that don’t resemble man, not only are there no attacks, but people don’t even suspect they exist.
This fantastic animal is a symbol of the sea in which it lives, a sea which we are threatening, a much more deadly threat than the great white. It is relatively easy to defend the great white, but there are 350 other species of shark increasingly threatened over-fishing, with virtually no one paying any attention to their plight.
No one knows how many answers lie in these waters, but one thing is certain, in the deep, vast blue, in the salty abyss in which all these creatures live, only one is king. Carcharodon carcharias, the white death.

Aurora Province: The Treasure of the Philippines | Nature Documentary

The Aurora Province is located on the East-Central part of Luzon Island, the main Island of the Philippines. The province of Aurora covers the eastern portion of the Sierra Madre Mountains, hence it is generally mountainous. Its coastline spans 332 kilometres in length. Aurora is a province blessed with an abundance of tourist attractions. It has its share of historical sites such as the home and resthouse of former Phil-ippine President Manuel L. Quezon. The province also has a beautiful Catholic church and several historical markers. Its natural attractions include picturesque waterfalls, lush greenery on mountainsides, and panoramic beaches. Surfing, snorkelling, scuba diving, mountain climb-ing and trekking are only some of the activities you can enjoy in Aurora. The social life is dominated by a mixture of old traditions of the natives and modern arts. So the displeasing dances of former head hunters can be admired as well as the work of highly talented artists of today's time. The population lives predominantly on farming and skilled crafts. It is conspicuous how engaged scientists work out solutions for an eco-logical lasting way of managing agriculture and to increase the conser-vation management. The influence of Spanish conquerors in Auroras history is still present at many places trough to the architectural style of historic buildings. Also a big Part of the population is Catholic.

Alien Invaders - Full Episode

26:51

In the waters of the western Atlantic and Caribbean, a voracious alien predator has taken hold. Native to the Indo-Pacific, the invasive lionfish is a major threat to biodiversity and the health of already stressed coral reef ecosystems.

The popular aquarium fish is thought to have first been released into the wild in South Florida in the mid 1980s. With no natural predator in this part of the world, lionfish numbers have increased rapidly.
To combat this problem, experts are encouraging people to eat'em to beat'em. Changing Seas joins scientists in the field to learn more about this beautiful, yet gluttonous feeder and the threat it is posing to native fish populations.
Hiding, Camouflage & Mimicry - Reef Life of the Andaman - Part 16

6:37

Hiding, camouflage & mimicry. Part 16 of my DVD, Reef Life of the Andaman, available at or view the whole 2-hour video at

In this video we look at how fishes and other marine life use different strategies for hiding themselves from both predators and prey.

First we see how the pastel tilefish, Hoplolatilus fronticinctus, hides by diving into enormous piles of rubble that it has built at dive sites in the depths of the Mergui Archipelago in Burma (Myanmar).

Then we look at how the dwarf whipray, Himantura walga, and bluespotted stingray, Neotrygon kuhlii, camouflage themselves under sand on the seabed at various locations in Thailand including the Similan Islands.

The day octopus, Octopous cyanea, shows us how it ejects ink as a decoy so it can make its escape.

Mimicry is a clever way that marine life hides its presence. We see how the straightstick pipefish, Trachyrhamphus longirostris, mimics sea whips to avoid detection, and how the ornate ghost pipefish, Solenostomus paradoxus, can change its body coloration and orientation to mimic its surroundings.

The giant frogfish, Antennarius commerson, is an ambush predator. They mimic sponges and their slender dorsal spine, the illicium, is waved around like a tiny fishing rod. Bypassers attracted to the lure at the end of the illicium are engulfed by the huge mouth in a fraction of a second. They are also known as anglerfish.

Scorpionfish and stonefish are also ambush predators. They blend in perfectly with their environment so they can pounce on their unsuspecting prey, but have venomous spines as an extra defence. We see a moray eel colliding with a stonefish at Thailand's Boonsung wreck.

Coral Reef Revival in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary

20:43

Colton and Jack are revitalizing coral reefs in the Florida Keys and learn how to replace reefs that have been decimated by climate change and diseases. In this episode, the guys team up with eco-defender Sarah Hamlyn - a Coral Reef Restoration Technician - who is helping scientist come up with ways to grow coral in warm and acidic waters. The coral reef Colton and Jack are attempting to revitalize was once thriving. However, in today's climate, only about 10% of the reef is active and living. This is alarming because 1/4 of all marine life lives on or near reef schools.

Molluscs - Reef Life of the Andaman - Part 14

4:54

Molluscs (mollusks, Mollusca) including cowries, sea slugs (in particular, nudibranchs) and giant clams. Part 14 of my DVD, Reef Life of the Andaman, available at or view the whole 2-hour video at

The first category of molluscs we look at is cowries in the family Cypraeidae, which is in the class gastropods (Gastropoda). Cowries have a pretty, glossy shell which can be covered by their bilobed mantle. The mole cowry (Talparia talpa) and tiger cowrie (Cypraea tigris) are two common species that feature from the Mergui Archipelago in Burma (Myanmar).

We then take a look at some of the sea slugs (opisthobranchs, Opisthobranchia) to be found in the Andaman Sea. The area has many pretty nudibranchs (Nudibranchia) and amongst others we find a Goniobranchus geminus at Richelieu Rock, north of the Similan Islands in Thailand, and a group of 3 Goniobranchus annulatus at Black Rock in the Mergui Archipelago. Wart slugs in the family Phyllidiidae are also represented, particularly those of the Phyllidia genus such as Phyllidia varicosa.

Finally we take a look at the fluted giant clam, Tridacna squamosa, which is a large bivalve (bivalvia) found on many Thailand dive sites.

Reef fishes. Part 9 of my DVD, Reef Life of the Andaman, available at or view the whole 2-hour video at

This episode features many of the colorful tropical fishes from the coral reefs of Thailand. First we encounter the famous school of teira batfish at Koh Tachai north of the Similan Islands, pinnate batfish from Koh Bon, and golden spadefish from the Surin Islands.

We then meet 4 different types of colorful angelfish including the emperor angelfish which makes a dramatic transformation in coloration as it matures from juvenile to adult.

We then encounter some of the species of pretty butterflyfish from the Andaman Sea, the closely related bannerfish, and the moorish idol, which at first glance is very similar to the bannerfish.

We then take a look at surgeonfishes (tangs) and unicornfishes that comprise the family Acanthuridae, before meeting bigeyes (bulleyes) and the striking juvenile emperor red snapper.

Finally we encounter the amazing colorful patterns of the Andaman sweetlips and oriental sweetlips.

The Evolution of Fish

23:55

The evolution of fish began about 530 million years ago during the Cambrian explosion. Early fish from the fossil record are represented by a group of small, jawless, armoured fish known as ostracoderms. Jawless fish lineages are mostly extinct. An extant clade, the lampreys may approximate ancient pre-jawed fish. The first jaws are found in Placoderm fossils. The diversity of jawed vertebrates may indicate the evolutionary advantage of a jawed mouth. It is unclear if the advantage of a hinged jaw is greater biting force, improved respiration, or a combination of factors. The evolution of fish is not studied as a single event since fish do not represent a monophyletic group but a paraphyletic one (by exclusion of the tetrapods).
Remoras, Cobias & Rainbow Runners - Reef Life of the Andaman - Part 22

4:00

Remoras, cobias and rainbow runners. Part 22 of my DVD, Reef Life of the Andaman, available at or view the whole 2-hour video at

In this video we look at more fish that form symbiotic relationships with larger marine life.

Live sharksuckers (Echeneis naucrates), a type of remora, attach themselves to sharks and other marine animals using their first dorsal fin which has evolved into a sucker. The sharksucker gets a free ride and feeds off food scraps left by the host, which also gives it protection. This is known as a commensal relationship, whereby the suckerfish benefits but the host derives neither significant benefit nor harm. Some scientists believe that the remora removes parasites etc. from the host, making the relationship a form of mutualism rather than commensalism. At various dive sites in Thailand and the Mergui Archipelago of Burma (Myanmar) we see live sharksuckers attached to zebra sharks, a whale shark, a spot-fin porcupinefish, a bridled parrotfish, and even a couple of scuba divers.

In another example of commensal symbiosis, the cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is similarly usually found accompanying larger marine animals. We see them following manta rays, blotched fantail rays, and a grey reef shark. The cobia gains some protection from the larger host, and often feeds on its faeces.

Rainbow runners (Elagatis bipinnulata), members of the jack family, are also often seen accompanying larger marine life, but for a different reason. They rub themselves against the skin of the host in order to remove parasites etc. from their own bodies. We see rainbow runners rubbing against a grey reef shark, a whitetip reef shark, and a Pacific hawksbill turtle.

**********************************************************************
I’m off to the sunny but remote island of South Caicos, in the Turks and Caicos Islands, just southeast of the Bahamas.

Here, the School for Field Studies operates a field research facility where college students from all over the United States come for some hands-on marine biology field work.

Faculty at the School for Field Studies have ongoing research projects investigating fisheries management, reef health, shark populations and even human impact.

My day begins with the shark research team led by Professor Aaron Henderson. Henderson and his students are investigating how the marine protected areas around South Caicos are affecting the shark population.

Their first task for the day is to deploy some baited camera rigs. These rigs will hopefully attract and film several species of sharks. The goal: to learn how many and what species of sharks are here in the marine protected area.

Many different species visit the cameras including Nurse sharks, Caribbean Reef sharks, Tiger sharks, Lemon sharks and even Great Hammerheads!

Next the team deploys what are known as “drum lines.” These are baited hooks attached to a float and a weight. The goal is to catch sharks so they can be tagged and released.

With five drum lines set, the team goes back to the first one and checks for a shark.

Dr. Henderson places a tag on its dorsal fin, while the students take a small tissue sample from is tail for an isotope analysis of the shark’s diet.

Another group is studying the fish population of the island, trying to determine the effectiveness of marine protected areas.

Underwater, the team heads to a nice section of coral reef and begins a transect. Essentially they reel out a very long tape measure over the reef, which defines a specific path of a specific length.

By comparing the transect results inside and outside of the marine protected areas, the students can learn not only how well the marine protected areas are working but on which species.

Of course, fishing pressure is what affects fish populations, so it makes sense to also try to get a handle on what species of fish are being caught. The students work with the local fishermen who volunteer to allow the students to come down to the docks at the end of the day and see what kind of fish they are catching and how big they are. The fishermen know that research like this and marine protected areas will help to insure that there are always enough fish to catch.

Another team of students, another research project. This team is working in snorkel depths without scuba--studying a big snail called a conch.

The conch is one of the most popular seafoods in the Caribbean, and a whopping 10% of the world’s supply comes from the tiny island of South Caicos, so it’s an important resource.

This transect in the seagrass bed is being used to count conch. They also collect a few conch for additional research on land.

Back at the shore, alongside a representative from the Turks & Caicos Department of Environment and Maritime Affairs, the students crack the conch open in the traditional way.

Fishermen often take the meat out of the shell at sea and return with only the meat and no shell. How can the government recommend or enforce size regulations if there is no shell to measure? So Daniel’s research is looking at other ways to gauge the maturity of a conch, without a shell.

Baby sharks live in the mangroves, where they are safe from a lot of larger predators.

A couple of nights a week, Dr. Henderson and his students head over to the mangrove areas to catch baby sharks.

They start by setting a net in the chest-deep water, hoping to snare small sharks as they cruise by. Every 15 minutes they check the net, and when they have a shark, they bring it back to a makeshift lab on shore where they will weigh it, tag it with a electronic tag, take a small tissue sample, some ID photos, and then quickly get it back into the water.

One of the students will swim the baby shark around for a few minutes to re-oxygenate its gills, and then they send it on its way.
From sharks, to fish to conch and more sharks, my day with the marine biology students at the School for Field Studies in South Caicos was exhausting but exciting.
Crustaceans - Reef Life of the Andaman - Part 13

Crustaceans: Spiny lobsters, shrimps and a swimming crab. Part 13 of my DVD, Reef Life of the Andaman, available at or view the whole 2-hour video at

This video covers various types of decapod in the subphylum of Crustacea. First we encounter 3 of the most common types of spiny lobster (Palinuridae) found in the Andaman Sea, the painted spiny lobster, Panulirus versicolor, at East of Eden in the Similan Islands in Thailand, the rare ornate spiny lobster, Panulirus ornatus, at Black Rock in the Mergui Archipelago in Burma (Myanmar), and the longlegged spiny lobster, Panulirus longipes, which line the walls of the underwater cave at Western Rocky Island.

We then look at shrimps, another type of decapods. We encounter rock cleaner shrimps, Urocaridella sp., inhabiting the underwater caves at Richelieu Rock, the Durban hinge-beak shrimp (Durban dancing shrimp), Rhynchocinetes durbanensis, which are common at many site throughout the Andaman Sea, and thirdly the banded coral shrimp, Stenopus hispidus, also known as the banded boxer shrimp.

Finally we meet a small and feisty swimming crab, Portunus sp., in open water in the Mergui Archipelago.

The Sea Anemone

There are many scientific studies that apply traditional approaches to ecological, physiological, and molecular research questions. However, these studies largely test these questions at only a single level of the biological hierarchy (microscopic to macroscopic). The Systems Science in Marine Biology (SSiMBio) group at Oregon State University believes that a broader, systems view is needed in order to make progress as it provides a powerful framework for understanding how the processes occurring at some biological levels lead to predictable outcomes at other levels. Our group is developing the temperate symbiotic sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima as a model system for this systems biology approach. This video encapsulates the meaning and goals of our group by showing many different aspects of this system on many biological levels.

The octopus mimics the environment to escape from predators, but also changes color depending on your mood: blue if excited, if it feel scared pale and red when angry.

During mating the male impregnates the female with the introduction one of his tentacles. When finished mating, the female will try to devour the male, because they won't eat until the offspring are born months later. Usually the female dies shortly after hatching by the efforts.

The octopus is a nocturnal animal. During the day they hide among the rocks. It is also an avid hunter. They, in turn, are the favorite prey of eels and eels.

The elasticity of the octopus is prodigious. it can enter their tentacles in smaller loopholes in search of food. The most stiffer body part is the eye. Wherever he can pass his eye, literally, you can spend your whole body.

One of the keys to the survival of the species is the adaptation to the environment. In the octopus is perfect. Mimicry, elasticity, ink jets to scare off predators ... but his most formidable adaptation is intelligence. Not only can identify colors and shapes, but also associate these colors and shapes with meanings and remember for years.

Swimming with the manta ray is a privilege for the diver. It's like swimming next to one of the giants of the ocean. The manta ray, or giant manta ray can grow more than 8-foot wingspan, and 1,400 kilos of weight.

Although the manta ray is present in the temperate waters around the world, remains a stranger to marine biologists. Until recently it wasn't known that the manta ray belong to the family of sharks.

CORAL REEFS AND MANGROVES:-

Truck Lagoon is the largest coral reef in Micronesia, founded on Japanese ships sunk in World War II. Reefs are rich in biodiversity, and they also aid other ecosystems such as mangroves by sheltering them from the sea. This video also shows some of the damage caused by man's activities.

How does marine life keep itself clean?

1:00

Coral reefs host cleaning stations, spaces where animals get rid of parasites from their bodies with help from cleaner fish. These stations provide a vital service in keeping animals, and the reef, disease-free.
