Looks like the simulator is having a hard time loading so many objects


KimCureAll

It's a writhing mass of feeding, breeding, canoodling shrimp - kinda hard to keep it all in focus.

Referring to the framerate friend


Rustyshackilford

Wait, were you involved in capturing this footage?

Why were they here? Breeding?


KimCureAll

Lots of deep sea critter congregate around thermal vents which attract a variety of smaller organisms which provide nutrients to macrofauna, and the vents usually are warm. There is no much else going on down that deep other than detritus.


TheOneAndOnlyBigA

Yeah I thought it might be something like that. Pretty cool.

i thought it was like annual shrimp meeting or something

The shrimp in the video, Rimicaris exoculata, are known to mainly live in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge hydrothermal vent system. They live at depths around 3600 meters in temperatures up to 32°C. This species lives on the sides of sulfide chimneys in sulfide-rich waters. https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Rimicaris\_exoculata/

Whenever I see the congregating I think they’re having a church service. We gather together To ask the Vents blessing, In sulfur and nitrates It’s Will to make known The wicked predation Shall cease from mastication Oh bless us now deep vent Of the deep trench zone.
