Scientists capture incredibly rare views of deep-sea fish eating whole sharks


Fe feces are rarely seen on the barren landscape of the oceans. So the researchers couldn’t believe their luck when they stumbled upon a frenzy of deep-sea shark food drowned in July 2019 on a broken-sword fish off the U.S. coast.

But they never thought they would get footage from that shark that would prey on another deep sea creature.

As his rover moved closer, the late arrival took advantage of the submersible’s shadow. No precaution while feeding an excessive shark can be blamed for catching the fish back, but this heavyweight planned to turn one of the diners into his diner.

U.S. A video posted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows an incident of being attacked by starving fish. You can see it for yourself in the clip below, Shark Lunch is served around 1:42 p.m.

The operation took place at a depth of about 450 meters (about 1,480 feet) off the coast of South Carolina, 130 kilometers (80 miles) off the coast.

Oil Tanker S.S. While exploring the wreckage of Bloody Marsh, NOAA’s remotely operated vehicle Deep Discover chased the remains of a swordfish about 2.5 meters (8 feet) long by about a dozen Deep-Sea sharks.

“The cause of death of this majestic animal is unclear, perhaps due to age, disease or some other injury,” says Peter J. Uster, a marine scientist at the University of Connecticut.

“There was no visible hook or trail of the fishing line indicating that this was a lost catch. However, hundreds of damage from shark bites caused any kind of injury.”

Sharks were two species of slow-moving, cold-sea dogfish, commonly known as sleeper sharks. The older two were more likely to be ruffskin dogfish (Centrosimnus ovostoni).

Other relatively new discoveries were: Ginny Dogfish (Schwalus Clarka), Named in honor of Eugene’s ‘Shark Lady’ Clark, founder of the Mott Marine Laboratory in 2018.

Both sleeper shark species are commonly found on such depots, roaming sluggishly until some parting occurs. Or, in this case, it rains like manna from heaven somewhere in the area.

By sniffing food on the stream or perhaps detecting the vibrations of previous arrivals, it is assumed that they will be able to travel some distance to replenish the food.

No matter how much the scavengers were attracted, it wasn’t long before the lone deep water Atlantic rackfish appeared (Polyprian American) Home on the scene for a simple meal too.

These giant fish are also known as stone bass and bass growers. Their length can exceed 2 meters (about 7 feet) and usually hangs around cold water caves and shipwrecks.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. But as the festival went on, the dress came out of the glare of the disc lights, wrap its lips around one of its sharks.

“This rare and shocking phenomenon leaves us with more questions than answers, but this is the kind of scientific research,” says uster.

A version of this story was first published in July 2019.
