Scientists are studying the role deep-sea creatures play as millions of them rise from the depths at night to feed in the cover of darkness.
Transparent jellies, fish that attract prey with"fishing poles" on their head, and pancake-shaped octopuses all call the deep sea home. The creatures found are displayed at the famed Monterey Bay Aquarium's new exhibition,The exhibit took five years to complete. The design is filled with pipes, pumps, and filters to help replicate a deep-sea environment.
"The animals we're looking for in the midwater are a little bit more of these squishy weirder looking animals," he said. The robot is controlled remotely by a control room located on a ship that floats along the California coast. It's during one of their trips that they find a jellyfish so rare, it doesn't even have a name.
