TED | Talks | David Gallo: Underwater astonishments
I’ve always been very interested in marine biology, oceanography, etc. Just about anything having to do with the ocean realm has fascinated me since I was a lad. This short video from a March, 2000 talk at the annual TED Conference, shows some amazing footage.
David Gallo shows jaw-dropping footage of amazing sea creatures, including a shape-shifting cuttlefish, a pair of fighting squid, and a mesmerizing gallery of bioluminescent fish that light up the blackest depths of the ocean. He focuses on the work of two scientists: Edith Widder at the Ocean Research & Conservation Association, and Roger Hanlon at the Marine Biological Lab.

Just wanted to share this slideshow of all the mutated
lobsters and crabs we’ve got in here at Captain Joe’s.
Thought you might find it interesting.

Thanks Captain Joe, those are some interesting critters in your slide show. Takes me back… I was a commercial diver when I was younger, and during one of my final years of diving, I spent a mighty cold season diving for scallops off the coast of Maine. I have to tell you, I think that there is every bit as much of interesting sites to see there in the cold water, what with the variety of lobster, crab, fish, mussels, etc., etc., as there is in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, where I spent most of my growing-up years.
