Testing the priming effect in the deep ocean: are microorganisms too starved to consume recalcitrant organic carbon? You have to enable JavaScript in your browser's settings in order to use the eReader.

Deep ocean microbes are starving but does feeding them fresh carbon make them eat the old stuff?

Our new study shows it doesn’t. The persistence of this carbon appears to come from its chemical stability, not from microbial starvation.

unidentified marine life long and tan.

OK #marinesky this was all over my beach (Cape Cod) and nobody could identify it.
It came in small and big chunks. You could drape it over your arm.

A dead sea mammal washed up on the beach in Largs Scotland. Has some rope tied round it's tail and has visible cuts.

Sadly found this poor wee guy on the beach just now. Not sure what it is though if anyone can help identify? We do have dolphins, porpoises and whales round here.

How do you extract semen from sharks? Carefully! Marine scientists are using an ingenious, if peculiar method to extract semen from wild male leopard sharks in a bid to boost the species' numbers.

I did not realise I would ever come to know the answer to this. @melissacmarquez.bsky.social 🧪 #marinesky #nature #sharksky cosmosmagazine.com/nature/marin...

I love that #marinesky is a thing. Let’s make it happen folks! (On that note I promise I’ll post a bunch from Brazil asap)

@whysharksmatter.bsky.social is #marinesky even a thing?

🌊🐙🪸 #MarineSky folks, spam me with your most comprehensive articles about the broad conservation benefits of marine protected areas. And, if you think MPAs are bad, open to critiques.

I would welcome octopus overlords compared to some other options #science #marinesky

Dolphins beat up octopuses before eating them, and the reason is kind of horrifying In general, it’s best for your food to not kill you. Dolphins agree, which is why they thrash their octopus around a bit before they chow down. Read on:

I wonder if they would have invented cooking if they had been evolved to live on land instead of water. www.popsci.com/dolphins-thr... #dolphins #octopus #MarineSky

Wild ask, but does anyone have cookiecutter shark footage that they own? #sharksky #marinesky 🧪🦑🦈
