Brine pool of death - Blue Planet II: Episode 2 Preview - BBC One 

Anoxia is a condition or state, not a compound. The term you're looking for is anoxic water.

I want to start my master’s degree :/ taking a break from college due to obvious reasons. So I’m here watching nature docs and reading.

Wow you explained more than the video did 😊 thank you !

Thank you for the info. One cannot expect from BBC to give all the info.. I was confused about that clip but your info helped me a lot. Thanks

😄

Homeslice needs a cardboard sign: "Homeless Vet. Please help. God bless."

It's a cruel world. But the reality is, even if they were capable of helping the other, that would only cause that eel to become more brazen and careless because it would probably figure another eel would just help it out. They figured this out by drowning mice. Let a mouse nearly drown but save it last second and put it back in the water and it will have hope you'll save it again. It was a disturbing experiment, to say the least.

​@@Ana.401😂😂😂😂 y la tierra es plana? No me digas!

Like the game subnautica

@@derk3933 Creation is so wonderful that more than 95% of all the species that have stepped their "foot" on this planet have disappeared.

if you like that kinda thing you should check out Scavenger's Reign, breathtaking animation and incredible imagination with the alien biology

Gas maybe? idk

The creator of spongebob confirmed that the island you see in the opening credits is based of the real life bikini atol, where in the 1940s several nuclear tests were carried out. So every weird thing in spongebob like fire under the sea can be explained by radiation

The creator of spongebob has a degree in marine biology.

no one thought that, even if you didn't know about the brine pool the cartoon can just say it's goo or oil. the guy that created sponge bob was a marine biologist so everything had a degree of reality

These lakes are also anoxic. Meaning fish would indeed drown in addition to other ways they would die.

Not enough people get this!

Plot twist, carl’s dead due to toxic shock and that’s his spirit

Probably killed him

But then what about the "toxic" shock. I think the toxic shock could be due to diffusion. Since your explanation also fits in perfectly, both the processes are occuring. But I guess the reason for the electric shock is diffusion of highly concenrtated salt solutions.

+Bo666y toxic shock Is not electric shock...it's bcoz of accumulation of toxins in body...

I doubt that the outer membrane of the eel could allow for osmosis. I think its got to do with the breathing of the brine water (through the gills) that brings in the toxic shock.

nice copy paste

This is sodium intoxication

Tag your it..lol 😅 much love Sexy Grandma Darkness ✌💙💙

Cutthroat eel.

Google it

Somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico

Two small manned subs.

With a camera.

@@George10001 Hahaha! 😂

@@George10001 😅

Creepy but cool, true! 😊👍🏼

Well they're used to no light so they are basically all blind, they would have no way to take damage

kentknightsrule that makes sense

ok. SJW for everything. when u are watching this, u use electricity and it harms the planet. if u move or press something, the bacteria around u may die and be harmed. so dont move. dont breathe. just dont exist. thz

Niel Boshoff Animals (Marine life) deep underwater don't see light all that much, so they are practicly blind. What keeps them from being completely blind is the ability they aquire from being deep in the ocean. And that is glow in the dark body parts, so practicly bioluminesense. And they can see that bright light glow under the ocean that attracks them which is how most of those fish hunt their prey. Sharks are the same in some way, they are actually blind so if you shine a flashlight in their eye it wouldn't do anything to it, becuase sharks don't use their eyes to hunt they use their senses of movement and sound. Their is tons of videos on youtube showing this and explaining it, while some creatures can see light and are atrackted to it some don't see it at all. Also this is a good video to show case a game called "Subnautica" and how the ocean is in that game compared to our ocean it's pretty amazing and great game

@@aungkyawmin9456 What the hell are you on about, it's a fair question to ask about life this deep underwater.

Its a section of the ocean that has an extremely high salinity (high salt) which they swim into the high salinity water their nerves and muscles go crazy, google 'brine pools' for abit more info

I Think its all about osmosis. there is a high concentration of salt to water in the brine, therefore it is more dense than normal sea water and that is why it sinks. Fish, such as the eels, need a stable amount of water (isotonic) in and out of the body. since there is a high water potential (more water) in the eels than the brine (more salt to water) water moves from a high water potential to low water potential. this leaves the eels with less water stability in the body, which is why they suffer toxic shocks because water is leaving the body and osmosis is passive (doesn't require energy) and so water moves dangerously out of the eels' naturally.I am currently doing A-Level Biology

nice copy paste

It almost died

@@tidalblue2739 OKAY, LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE CLEAN BANDIT FAN...

That eel lied himself into a knot out of pain because he spent 10 seconds in there. I think the creepy music is adequate

Tubelight Gustii haha thanks for the laugh 😄

nice smile there

What a useless comment
