MBARI's advanced underwater robots discover deep-sea squid that broods giant eggs

- During an expedition to Mexico’s Gulf of California in 2015, MBARI’s remotely operated vehicle Doc Ricketts encountered a mother squid cradling a cluster of eggs. This sighting was striking because the eggs were twice as large as those of other deep-sea squids we’ve seen brooding their eggs. The mantle length of the squid was 221 millimeters (8.7 inches), and the average egg size was 11.6 millimeters (half an inch).
Researchers from MBARI, GEOMAR’s Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, and the University of South Florida have learned this individual likely represents an unknown species of the family of Gonatidae and one that broods giant eggs.
While maternal care is common among octopuses, brooding has only been observed in a handful of squids. Most squid species leave clumps of eggs attached to the seafloor or release neutrally buoyant egg masses containing thousands of eggs that drift in the water column. These reproductive strategies require relatively low effort compared to providing post-spawning egg care.
The deep sea is the largest living space on Earth, but an environment we still know very little about. Every new discovery we make is a new piece of the puzzle.

9 years ago?! And they only just now got a write up? 😅
Probably a US-only thing.. Like, declassifying stuff that's not much relevant anymore.
@@rcane6842 it's a squid, how secret can it be 😂
@@phonoticalik right
Just strolling the kids down the block and back. What gorgeous footage.
Fascinating. Good catch!
When suddenly an alien monster appeared, blinding her with the light of small suns.
So much work for a 29 second video. Amazing 🤩
This is amazing! I had no idea some squids … or maybe all squids … gestate their eggs in their tentacles. Nature never fails to educate us! Thanks for this brief but magnificent snippet of life. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
This is too cool not to comment. Thanks, MBARI.
I didn't even KNOW that there were squids that brood their eggs!
Do you think they have to put the egg sac down to eat?
I don't think they eat... Octopus, spiders and so critters would die after the eggs hatch I think@@soth897
@@soth897 Well, when octopuses brood they forgo all their needs so that they can take care of the eggs 24/7. Even if it takes months or years they don't eat at all.
If I had to bet I'd say that the same happens to squids that do this. Which makes sense considering that most (if not all) cephalopods die after their breed.
How does she eat? She probably starves til her babies hatch. ❤
That's what happens with octopuses. The females brood, don't eat during that time and die right before the babies hatch.
She is being a good mom, unfortunately it will be the first and last time for her.
i wish the world would just unite and concentrate their resources on helping each other and exploring these depths instead of fighting wars etc etc
If she broods like that, it seems she can’t eat and likely dies to protect her offspring like the brooding octopus does. I suppose we won’t know for sure until we see hatching and follow up on a mother squid's life. How big was this one? I didn’t see the reference lasers.
The mantle length of the squid was 221 millimeters (8.7 inches), and the average egg size was 11.6 millimeters (half an inch). Brooding takes a lot out of a mother squid. She won’t eat while carrying her eggs and ultimately dies after her eggs hatch. But her sacrifice improves the chances that her offspring will survive. It’s just one of the many remarkable adaptations that may help cephalopods to survive in the deep sea.

@@MBARIvideo Thanks so much!
MBARI I appreciate you guys, Thank you, Love your dedication.
RIP Lovecraft, he would've been obsessed with these videos
This video would give him a heart attack.
Stop lionizing the Nazi
@@EscapeConditioncope and seethe crybaby.
Another immigrant crying?
@EscapeCondition
No, he'd be hate tweeting and hate commenting, not learning. I bought his anthology, because of people like you, who ignore how horrid he is.
I stopped reading it and returned the book because he actually incorporates his racism into the books. (An unpleasant surprise to someone with an open mind.)
Some jaggass "journalist" at the Sacramento Bee had a link to this video. The headling was "a new species" no its not a "new" species.
It is a previously unknown, i.e. newly discovered species as the description says.
Nature is so beautiful...squidparent!!!!
Does the mother eat while brooding the eggs? Would she release the clutch for a moment to catch prey or just forgo food until the eggs hatch?
I thought the same, some octopuses die while egg sitting.

This channel is priceless
That is incredible footage!
WOW!!!! How big is the mom? Pretty darned AMAZING!!!!!
"...the eggs were twice as large as those of other deep-sea squids we’ve seen brooding their eggs...:
unless the mom is half the size of other squid? yea? xD
Article says The mantle length of the squid was 221 millimeters (8.7 inches
its evil to eat them, these are very intelligent sentient beings who exist in the physical realm just as we do
Evil? 😂
Is that not the cutest cephalopod you've ever seen?! 😊
The Wonderful World of Wildlife
"Look Kids Humans! Aren't they so strange looking?'
With all this lights would it blind or scare it? 🤔
Wonderful video, thank you for your effort and work
Squidward’s been BIZZAY
Such pretty blue eyes 💙
Cephalopods are amazing, i find it fascinating that these creatures finish there lives making sure the offspring hatch. I canT imagine this squid lives on after not eating for such an extended period
There is no scale to understand the size, this thing could be 1 foot long or 200 feet... how are we the people supposed to know?
Yeah WE the People demand to know! Or just guess, we can always guess too.
The mantle length of the squid was 221 millimeters (8.7 inches), and the average egg size was 11.6 millimeters (half an inch).
@@MBARIvideo THank you so much for that reply. Love almost every video you guys have ever put out.
Oh wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great catch!!
Such a fascinating discovery! I wonder what advantages would larger eggs offer. Perhaps it allows the hatchlings to capture larger preys?
What kind of squid??
Life finds a way
each egg is half an inch
How beautiful
Probably a Descended of the giant squid like showing on the walls. Lol but all jokes aside this is amazing
Is this the first time we've ever seen this species with it's eggs?
MBARI researchers were the first to observe brooding behavior in a deep-sea squid. Over 37 years of deep-sea exploration, MBARI’s ROVs have recorded 17 observations of brooding squids. These include multiple sightings of brooding by black-eyed squid (Gonatus onyx) and other armhook squids (Gonatus sp.) that are difficult to identify to species from video alone, as well as the deep-sea squid Bathyteuthis. But the squid observed in the Gulf of California stood out to researchers.

This is awesome
If it's anything like my Cat with Kittens, it will shred anything that comes near it!!!
Interesting that there are no visible hooks or suckers on the tentacles.
She isn't brooding, she's carrying home groceries.
Wow 😊
Forgive me but is this the humble (sp??) 🦑. The color is pretty much spot on.
???? Just wondering?
This is Cthulhu and it’s awake😅
It's a cephalopod world, and we are just living in it.
🦑❤
Muito interessante.
What’s this species of squid?
Who will protect them from deep sea mining?
Amazing 😍
Why not 4k upload?
They left the 4k camera on the boat that day. Darn!
@@BigArt1970 I mean even if it's not 4K, the higher bitrate from youtube will enhanced the existing details. Probably the footage was more than the recommended 12Mbps for 1080p
This video is a prime example of someone doing research many years ago and having no idea of how media works.
Jacque Cousteau would turn in his grave at this.😂
How long was the squid? 1cm? 10m?
10. Just 10. That's it. 10.
The mantle length of the squid was 221 millimeters (8.7 inches), and the average egg size was 11.6 millimeters (half an inch).
I hope she's not going to die from hugging her babies like an octopus.
*edit:* oh, she is, now I'm sad.
I could imagine this thing attaching itself to your face and depositing a egg down your throat, later to hatch and rip through your chest cavity..eeew so Alien-esque..
There needs to be a banana for scale
❤
I thought it's CGI... 😢
❤❤ wowww
Jfc
Ok but how the Male and the Female Do to .. to that
Ok Billy, now when a mommy and a daddy love each other VERY much....
😃😃🥰🥰
The Japanese will soon eat them.
Have you ever heard of Calamari? Check it out; Italians have been eating them forever, and they are delicious.
~veineee~
Why does it looks like bad cgi? Lol
this looks so fake, like CGI
