  To finish off our cartilaginous fish mini-series, we’re getting into our personal favourite: the chimera.

These little oddballs are closely related to sharks and rays but often go unmentioned. They are full of intriguing quirks, from lacking a stomach to possessing a reproductive appendage on their head! We speak with Dr Brit Finucci from NIWA, a lover of deep water sharks and champion kicker of heads (she is also a competitive Muay Thai fighter) all about these fascinating fishes and why they are so interesting.

 

Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!

We speak with Dr Brit Finucci from NIWA, a lover of deep water sharks and champion kicker of heads (she is also a competitive Muay Thai fighter) all about these fascinating fishes and why they are so interesting.

We also speak with Leo Richards from Natural World Facts about his journey into making deep sea documentaries. If you have ever searched for deep-sea videos online, then you will have definitely come across Leo’s content, as his captivating way of sharing the deep-sea has reached millions of people.

Talking about high-quality content, The Professor has been joined offshore by a team of filmmakers, ready to capture the latest in hadal research. So expect some highly professional footage to come out in the next few weeks!

Finally, Andrew talks us through some physical features of the Chimera, including its pretty hefty defensive spine and some gnarly stories about things getting impaled.

We have often talked about how difficult it is the get data from the deep sea… but would you believe that the bottleneck to our understanding of the deep ocean, at least as far as visual data, is processing those images? Turning a picture of the deep sea into a list of species, habitat type, sediment type etc. is a time-consuming process that requires a wide range of skilled people.

Due to time/funding constrains a lot of valuable information is lost. A team looking at a specific question will have lots of information in their data that other teams could use.

A picture is worth a thousand data points.

We chat with Dr Kakani Katija, the co-founder of FathomNet, an open-source repository for labelled deep-sea imaging data. The platform is still in beta but it is hoped that it will allow scientists to easily and usefully share their amassed data in a single and easily searchable place.

But what about that processing bottleneck? The tech-savvy listener may have noticed that a massive collection of labelled image data is exactly the sort of thing you need to train a Machine Learning or Deep Learning algorithm. Can we automate a lot of the time-consuming image processing and let the experts focus on the new and unusual stuff? It’s at this cutting edge that things get exciting and we may be at the cusp of a marine science renaissance.

 

We also launch our podcast merch! Please do send in any pics of you wearing the merch. We find the idea of real people in the actual world wearing this so surreal!

Can we use art to help people engage with the deep sea? We stop trying to explain things and let artist Alex Gould (alexandragould.co.uk) help us see deep-sea animals for the first time all over again.

We talk about the aesthetic of deep-sea fish, is it shaped by our expectations? Can we save the blobfish from bullying? Can art help us with the horror of tongue eating parasites and fish absorbing their boyfriends?

On January 23, 1960 Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard were the first people to dive to the deepest point in the ocean, Challenger Deep. Would you believe that Don's full of other stories at least as interesting as that?

We talk science communication and exploration with Don, realise that actually we do know a lot about the Mariana Trench, and we cross the equator.

 ‘We know more about the moon than the deep sea’ isn't just a bad analogy, it’s wrong. We talk scientific writing and Alan confesses why, after becoming the world’s deepest Brit, he was hunched emerging from the sub.

What has no jaw, inverted horizontal teeth, saggy skin and can produce litres of suffocating slime when touched? it’s the episode you’ve been waiting for… The hagfish special is here.

Dr Thom is back from his stint offshore, and The Professor pretty much now lives in a submarine, but that hasn’t stopped them from finally reuniting to make this special episode all about hagfish. We’ve talked about them a lot on the show, and decided it’s time to pass them the mic. So expect lots of slimy stories, toothy tales and a whole load of hagfish trivia you never knew you needed.

 

There’s lots of updates after so many recent deep sea expeditions, with Thom’s latest cruise discovering many new species and Alan sharing live updates from the sub. Keep up with their latest goings-on via twitter!

 

We speak to the king of the hagfish, Professor Doug Fudge, who has been studying these critters and their (in)famous slime for decades. We ask all the interesting questions like: how do they make so much slime, do they have any predators and why do they look like that?

 

We’re really trying to make this project self-sustaining so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast. Here’s a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show.

Plus, we have another instalment of the fan-favourite: Coffee with Andrew. This time, Andrew talks us through his love of hagfish, how to successfully remove their slime, and why brushing their teeth is super important!

 

Thanks again for tuning in - we’ll be back soon with some cartilaginous-based episodes!

It’s February, the month of love and there’s love in the deep ocean too. We talk reproductive strategies in the deep sea with Professor Craig Young, Dr Autun Purser and Dr Mike Vecchione. How do you find a mate in the sparsely populated deep ocean? How can egg and sperm meet when you are fixed growing on a rock? How can your babies disperse and find a suitable habitat, especially if you live in a rare habitat like a hydrothermal vent? We find the solutions to all these problems and more.
