POPULAR MECHANICS " NEW PREDATOR FOUND IN ATACAMA TRENCH
Excerpt: while nobody has yet watched D. camanchaca eat, its body is clearly built for violence. It has a slender, fast-looking frame, mouthparts made for shredding rather than filtering, and a pair of oversized, grasping front limbs that work like spring-loaded claws. In most amphipods, those limbs are unremarkable. But in D. camanchaca, they dominate the animal’s front end, which is the anatomical signature of something that grabs living prey instead of waiting for a dead whale to drift down.
At 25,925 feet, the water presses down at roughly 790 times the atmospheric pressure at sea level. But the two-inch-long D. camanchaca is able to live there, molting, swimming, and hunting under a load that would flatten most creatures. Precisely how it manages that isn’t yet fully understood.
“This finding underlines the importance of continued deep-ocean exploration particularly in Chile’s front yard,” IMO’s Carolina González, co-lead author of the study, said in a press statement “More discoveries are expected as we continue to study the Atacama Trench.”

SHARKZILLA?!? 3.6 METRE SHARK TOOK CHOMPS OUT OF HUMPBACK WHALE and SEAL AND HUGE TUNA : IS THIS THE RESULT OF NUCLEAR WASTE MUTATION
2 OCEAN VIBE : MASSIVE 3.6 METRE SHARK : NUCLEAR WASTE DRIVEN BIOLOGICAL CHANGES?
Excerpt: But the discovery of a 12-foot (3.7-metre) mako shark in New York’s coastline, which has been dubbed Sharkzilla, has some locals thinking that its huge size might be the result of a nuclear waste leak causing it to mutate. Yes, really.
This shark is making its marks, quite literally, having taken a 24-inch chomp out of a humpback whale, inflicting a 22-inch wound on a seal and chewing up a 400-pound (180 kilogram) tuna. So, at least its eating well.
The fearsome sea creature was recently featured on Discovery Channel’s Shark Week in an episode titled “Sharkzilla Takes New York,” with the show detailing the efforts of shark scientist, Craig O’Connell, and experts to track down the beast, with the attacks proving that enormous sharks are making a return to the area.

MANTA TRUST
MANTA TRUST Heartbreaking images of dead mantas due to fishing here!
As I see the link between eating seafood - fishing - and extinction of marine animals I affirm that there is no need for me to eat seafood.
Not everyone can do so.
I understand that.
But please!
