00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:12.520
We are in about twenty seven hundred meters
of water right now.

00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:17.720
If you took all the water out and just had
all the animals that are in the water column

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:22.730
sitting there, they would be smothering the
sea floor many times over.

00:00:22.730 --> 00:00:25.690
Much much more biomass living up here in the
water column.

00:00:25.690 --> 00:00:28.360
There are just fewer and further between.

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:35.880
This is probably rosasia also has many many
stomachs between their own tentacles.

00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:45.760
A veritable curtain of fish hanging down waiting
to snap these krill up in this hungry mouths.

00:00:45.770 --> 00:00:53.330
It is kind of a seemingly not very habitable
place, it's cold down here the oxygen is low.

00:00:53.330 --> 00:00:57.500
It's dark, so it's hard to find a prey or
find mates.

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:04.379
If you were a fish trying to eat that shrimp,
and you approached it to take a bite.

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:11.039
You'd hit the antenna first, which would give
the shrimp enough time to escape.

00:01:11.039 --> 00:01:16.789
It seems like the reason why I most of these
animals that live down here is to be able

00:01:16.789 --> 00:01:17.810
to conserve energy.

00:01:17.810 --> 00:01:22.700
Their basically hiding in the darkness from
their predator to affect their decisions to

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:23.409
find their prey.
