Fish goes bonkers for brine pool | Nautilus Live

The deep ocean is stunningly weird.

There are extremes of concentration and density that result in a far, far from homogeneous ocean bottom.

Above we see a brine pool, an area of ultra-high salt concentration that leads to a pool that is far more dense than the surrounding water and often contains high concentrations of methane, also, making the pool deadly for any animals that are unlucky enough to happen into the pool.

There are a bunch more brine pool videos from the Nautilus Live YouTube channel. I'll put a couple more after the jump, but they're certainly worth a hunt down.
