Our planet is 71% covered by oceans, that&#8217;s, on average, over 12,000 feet deep. We have only recently had the technology to explore these deep ocean ecosystems. We bumped into this mysterious <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepstaria<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> jelly at 3,195 feet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The right tech for any job<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepstaria<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was spotted via a research partnership between CUNY and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dasny.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The still images and video both offer an amazing level of clarity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDue to the tremendous pressure of the deep sea, there are just a handful of specialized companies who sell equipment to explore the deep ocean,\u201d details Dr. Gruber. \u201cThe main client is usually the oil and gas industry or the military. But, as marine biologists studying delicate deep-sea life, this is not always appropriate for us. So we develop our own tools.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, Dr. Gruber and his team are busy.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29807\" style=\"width: 593px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29807\" class=\"wp-image-29807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_composite_canon-600x853.jpg\" alt=\"Deepstaria enigmatica\" width=\"583\" height=\"827\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29807\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Composite Canon ME20.

The aim of using low-light color cameras is to both explore the deep-sea without shocking deep marine life as well as to photograph and study bioluminescent animals. Most of the animals in the deep sea have the capability to produce their own light, a process called bioluminescence. The light they produce is so dim that we cannot use a flash or lights to capture it. Imagine trying to focus your lens and photograph a firefly at night in the forest without using any light. That is essentially what we are doing in the deep sea.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team&#8217;s equipment is designed to compensate for the low light conditions to get both clarity and good color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEven the most sensitive low-light cameras need some light to capture an image,\u201d remarks Dr. Gruber. \u201cIn the deep sea, it is perpetually dark, and no photons from the sun reach below about 700 meters. Due to the sensitivity of our low-light cameras, we can now drive submarines or remotely operated vehicles using the equivalent of a pen light. This is much preferred to the usual bright driving lighting. As biologists, using dim light is extremely important, since these animals are never exposed to bright lights. It would be like trying to study the behavior of nocturnal animals in the forest using powerful searchlights. They would obviously have a significant impact.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Deepstaria encounter<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lucky encounter turned into a very informative find in this case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepstaria<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> jelly just appeared out of the darkness,\u201d Dr. Gruber comments. \u201cAt first, we could not tell what it was\u2014we could just see its shape. It looked like a floating trash can. As it got closer, its features became more pronounced and it began purse its bell. We turned on our lasers, so we could get an idea of its size\u2014the beams are spaced 10cm apart. As <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepstaria<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> approached our camera, we could see its fine features, like her unique anastomosing canals that are used for digestion and circulation. They are the most beautiful dendritic patterns, like artwork.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29809\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29809\" class=\"wp-image-29809 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_Composite-ClosedEDIT-600x580.jpg\" alt=\"Deepstaria enigmatica\" width=\"600\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_Composite-ClosedEDIT-600x580.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_Composite-ClosedEDIT-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_Composite-ClosedEDIT-768x742.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_Composite-ClosedEDIT-1536x1484.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_Composite-ClosedEDIT-2048x1978.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_Composite-ClosedEDIT-940x908.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Composite closed Deepstaria.

That had not been seen before. It made us think of how important of a food source <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepstaria<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might be to deep-sea bottom dwellers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This successful application highlights the importance of this relatively unobtrusive technology for observing rare species such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepstaria<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; but will it become the standard for this kind of work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI hope so!\u201d Dr. Gruber remarks. \u201cIt seems to make so much sense to use our advanced technology in ways that are less obtrusive and delicate to deep-sea animals. Another aspect is age. Some deep-sea animals and corals can be thousands of years old! That is another reason we are inspired to be delicate when exploring this foreign terrain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29808\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29808\" class=\"wp-image-29808 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_measured-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"Deepstaria enigmatica\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_measured-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_measured-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_measured-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_measured-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_measured-940x940.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Deepstaria_measured.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29808\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Deepstaria getting measured with lasers.
