The biggest surprise (to us) from our satellite tagging has been the consistency of movements into the ocean’s twilight zone and beyond across taxa (sharks, rays, teleosts). We review likely reasons for these visits in a new paper in ARMS here: https://t.co/qc70nDQ5uN @WHOI https://t.co/Q3dwOyk8KV

What people are saying
The discussions reflect a range of opinions about marine predators and their behaviors. For instance, one user expresses skepticism about deep diving and compares it to beliefs held by sailors, which provides insight into varied interpretations. Others share excitement about the research findings and highlight the significant behaviors of different species, suggesting a blend of interest but also caution in fully accepting the new information. The tone in these posts varies from analytical to speculative, impacting how the research is received.
There is a mix of skepticism and some support, indicating divided opinions about the article's claims.
While interest is present, it is moderate, as not all posts show deep curiosity about the research.
Some posts discuss specific methods and findings, reflecting a moderate depth of engagement.
The perceived impact of the research appears to be positive but not overwhelmingly significant, as indicated by the discussions.
Abstract in brief
- Many large marine predators dive deep into the ocean, below 200 meters, and this ability has evolved independently in various species like mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish.
- There are several functional hypotheses for why these animals engage in deep diving, but testing these hypotheses will require new methods to measure their behavior and ocean conditions over specific time and space scales.
- Current research lacks understanding of the relationship between surface waters and deeper habitats, especially regarding the ecological roles and services provided by the twilight zone, highlighted by growing interest in deep-sea fisheries.

No I just don't buy it but I can understand how sailors would think that out in the ocean during a storm. A researcher recently said that it may have been a beluga whale the white ones. Their bodies aren't huge and they almost swim the way mermaids do. https://t.co/auXJNq0fZd
