- Drove down to the Monterey Bay Aquarium:

For the member preview of the new "Into the Deep" exhibit opening April 9, 2022:
www.montereybayaquarium.org/v...
On display are many creatures from thousands of feet/hundreds of meters under the water. Many of these have never been displayed before. Some have only been seen alive by a handful of researchers.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) pioneered the techniques required to bring these creatures safely to the surface to be seen by all.

You even get to pet a Giant Deep-Sea Isopod from the bottom of the ocean!
If you're a member, you get to skip the usual long line to get it in:

I am both jealous that you got to go there and pet the isopod and unconvinced that I wouldn't be thrown out for trying to hug the isopod if I could get there...thank you for the glimpse of this exhibition, it is greatly appreciated.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The isopod shell felt just like a crab shell.
I asked a docent nearby about the process of bringing up creatures from that far down and whether they needed to maintain high pressure on them. He said no, they don't have any air sacs that would expand and cause problems. The main thing was bringing them up very slowly and keeping them in conditions that are both very cold and low oxygen which is what they're used to.
Thank you for taking me somewhere I'll most likely never get to see in person. I'm from Salinas and Monterey area..I live in Oklahoma and am disabled. The Aquarium is amazing. In to the deep was something so amazing. So many awe inspiring sea life to enjoy 🤗😊
You're welcome! I've been going to the aquarium every year or so since it opened and I think this is on the best special exhibits they've ever done!
@@BetaCygniBlog I've never been there. We have an aquarium here in Oklahoma but it's nothing compared to Monterey 😊
You seen all the cool live streams?
@@ameliagrein5070 Yes, anyone can "visit" the aquarium any time they want: www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals/live-cams
@@ameliagrein5070 No, I haven't but I'll keep an eye out for them!
I won't be able to see this in person, so I appreciate this a lot!!
You're welcome! I've been going to the aquarium every year or so since it opened and I think this is the best special exhibit I've seen!
Im not from the US but I might go to California for the first time and I´ve been so very excited at the possibility of going to this exhibition!!!!
I would definitely put it on your list! Monterey Bay is a beautiful area of California. There's a lot to see beyond the aquarium.
Thank you for sharing this!!!
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I’ve been here a while back and let me just say two things: the spider crabs… dear God… I severely underestimated how big they were… they even made a kid cry bc of how utterly large they were. Is it a bad thing? Naw, that was hilarious and amazing ^^
Second: isopod. Yes I did pet the isopod. The water is extremely cold, but when you pet that buddy… man… I wanted to pet it again despite possible hypothermia/body shock-! 1000% worth it
I agree that petting the Isopod was worth the whole trip! :)
I was there last thursday i had so much fun
It's a great addition to the aquarium!
I have not been in a few years and I miss monterey so much so THANK YOU! also I have never seen a line for entry, let alone one that long what the hell😭 I truly hope i get to go again before they replace it
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Every time I go there seems to be a long line. I’m glad I have a membership. I only go about once a year but I’m happy to support the aquarium and I’m happy to skip that line! :)
The video ad got me interested to see the glimpse of these deep sea creatures inside the aquarium.
They're really cool along with the rest of the aquarium. 😎
3:10 no swim, just *float*
It's a filter feeder 😄
How did they get these fish?? I wonder what kind of parameters they had to follow for pressure and water quality to make sure these guys survive!
They have specialized ships that go out and get specimens.
www.mbari.org/at-sea/ships/
I asked the docent about the pressure and he said they don't have to be kept at high pressure because they don't have any air bladders like some creatures do. They just brought them to the surface very slowly. You also have to keep them at the very cold temperature and low oxygen levels that are found in their natural habitat.
was the bioluminescence section an electronic light display?
No, the sign for that section says (3:23): "Step inside and enjoy a show with video of real bioluminescent midwater animals!"
So they weren't live animals in a tank, but it was a video of live animals demonstrating bioluminesce.
I want to go but I’m on the other side of the USA
It's a great facility. Unlike many aquariums, it concentrates on marine life in the local Monterey Bay Area. They periodically have exhibits like this to show other creatures.
Where is the goblin shark?
Monterey Bay Aquarium has never had a goblin shark on display as far as I know.
The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Yokohama, Japan has had one (2020), but it isn't clear if it's still on display the picture in this story appears to be of a model of a shark:

Here's a video of the Goblin shark swimming at that aquarium with a frilled shark that appears to be already dead:

wait
ITS ALREADY OPEN?! i thought it havent opened yet
thanks for the experience! Its really satisfying. Hope i could be there someday
Yes! It's been open for 11 months! 😉
@@3takoyakis You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Is the exhibition permanent?
No, eventually it will be replaced by another special exhibit.
@@BetaCygniBlogaw, what will happen to the animals?
@@minthantlin9168 that’s a great question! I assume they’ll be returned to the ocean.
Or perhaps kept in tanks behind the scenes to live out their lives.
@@BetaCygniBlog why won’t it be permanent
@@jygergruz9562 That area of the aquarium is designed to have temporary exhibits. Bringing in new exhibits gives visitors a reason to return.
is it dark in there
It's very dim since there's very little light at the depths these creatures live at.
After a few minutes your eyes get used to the dark and you can see fine.
There's enough light on the tanks so you can see the animals are doing.
1:58 that’s not alive is it?
Yes it is! It's a common siphonophore: 1:55
What the hell?
@@klttrll Life finds a way! 😆
Was the red lantern jellyfish alive?
@@klttrll Everything you see is alive. It's amazing!
