This is, to the best of my knowledge, the first live footage of this animal worldwide,” Kat Bolstad of Auckland University of ...

The team used a high-tech, remote-operated underwater vehicle (ROV) to dive deep into the midnight zone. The ROV not only observed the creature in its natural environment but also collected ...

This particular nudibranch is the first known to live in the deep water column—the ocean’s midnight zone—between 3,300 feet and 13,100 feet deep (1,000 to 4,000 meters).

Researchers have discovered a new species of glowing sea slug deep in the ocean’s midnight zone. Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) scientists said in a press release on Tuesday ...

Researchers have discovered an unlikely new species within the ocean’s midnight zone: a glowing “mystery mollusk.” Although the apple-size species, named Bathydevius caudactylus, is ...

It took nearly 25 years for biologists to discover that a swimming and glowing organism in the ocean’s midnight zone was actually a sea slug.

The creature was in the bathypelagic or midnight zone, 3,300 to 13,100 feet (1,000 to 4,000 m) below the ocean's surface. No sunlight can penetrate that far into the ocean, so the midnight zone's ...

This critter lurks in the ocean's midnight zone, has a voluminous hood, is completely see through and is bioluminescent. It's unlike any nudibranchs deep sea experts have ever seen before — and ...

The midnight zone is cold and dark and very forbidding to us terrestrial creatures, yet it is filled with life, albeit life forms adapted to a very different set of challenges than we face.

It dwells in the midnight zone. Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute identified an intriguing new deep sea species off of California. It's see-through, can glow, and nabs ...

Although they have been found at greater depths, bathypelagic, or deep-sea, eels primarily live and hunt in the ocean's "Midnight Zone" 3,300 to 13,100 feet (1,000 to 4,000 meters) below the ...

Anglerfish first colonized the ocean's midnight zone 55 million years ago, during a period of extreme global warming, a new study finds. The bizarre fish adapted to thrive in the deep sea by ...
