As we continue our look through 10 video highlights from 2021, take a cue from this cusk eel: The end of the year is a good time to slow down and reflect! Identified as Bythites gerdae, this large black cusk eel was seen swimming very slowly during Windows to the Deep 2021. These fish are very rare, having only been imaged in situ once or twice. Observed at a depth of 1,154 meters (3,786 feet), this sighting represents a depth record, breaking the previous observation record by at least 200 mete

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, meaning six more weeks of #winter lie ahead, so here is a very grumpy cusk eel that reflects how we feel about that (unless you love winter...). In the deep ocean, of course, there is no light, so there are no shadows. There is also no change of seasons to predict. So why so grumpy, fish? #GroundhogDay | NOAA Ocean Exploration

Meet one of our favorite deep-sea cuties. The giant cusk-eel (Spectrunculus grandis) is one of the largest bony fishes in the deep abyss. Sometimes called “swimming noses,” these fish rely on their large olfactory organs to sniff out their next meal. They are not picky eaters—a hungry Spectrunculus will dine on a variety of bottom-dwelling invertebrates like crustaceans, worms, and sea stars or just as happily nibble on decomposing carcasses. In the deep sea, food can seem scarce unless you know
