Your Spooky Deep-Sea Round-Up

27 October 2022

Your Round-Up writer carved this Halloween Anglerfish a couple of years ago. If there were such a creature, we imagine it would compensate for its bioluminescence by attracting prey with its sugary lollipop lure. You can see more deep-sea images shared through DOSI on our Flickr Page. A guide for sharing your own images through our network can be found here.

When lures glow in abyssal waters, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the deep– That is the time when the Halloween Round-Up is present, sharing the latest research with ghoulish delight!

This week, that research includes an assessment of human impacts on Australian submarine canyons, habitats off of Morro Bay, California, and the population genomic structure of two beaked whale species. But the thrills don’t end there: We’re also featuring an opportunity with Scripps Institution of Oceanography, a call for projects from Pure Ocean, and COBRA’s 2023 Master Class in Deep-Sea Exploration leadership. If you’re ready to get into the Halloween spirit yourself, try to reach the end of the newsletter where we link to masterfully macabre Jack-o’-lantern carving templates from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
