NASSAU, Bahamas, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- During the 2022 Titanic Expedition an extremely productive and dense ecosystem was discovered 2900 meters deep near the wreck of the Titanic. The provisionally dubbed Nargeolet-Fanning Ridge was originally recorded as a blip on sonar 26 years ago by PH Nargeolet, a veteran Nautile submersible pilot and Titanic diver. After more than two decades of wondering if the blip was a shipwreck or geologic feature, PH got his chance to dive on the target and explore the ridge that now provisionally carries his name. The mystery was finally solved with the financial support of OceanGate Expeditions Mission Specialist Oisín Fanning and the analysis provided by OceanGate Foundation's scientific team. Video footage released by OceanGate Expeditions shows the awe-inspiring environment that was discovered.

What's a shark ordinarily associated with the Arctic doing around a Caribbean coral reef?

MIAMI, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A half-blind shark that is typically thought to live in freezing Arctic waters, scavenge on polar bear carcasses and survive for hundreds of years, recently turned up in an unexpected place — a coral reef off Belize. This marks the first time a shark of its kind has been found in western Caribbean waters off the world's second longest barrier reef. Devanshi Kasana, a Ph.D. candidate in FlU's Predator Ecology & Conservation lab, was working with local Belizean fishermen to tag tiger sharks when the discovery was made. "At first, I was sure it was something else, like a six gill shark that are well known from deep waters off coral reefs," Kasana said. "I knew it was something unusual and so did the fishers, who hadn't ever seen anything quite like it in all their combined years of fishing." Kasana texted Demian Chapman — her Ph.D. advisor and Director of Sharks & Rays Conservation Research at Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium — to share the news. She also sent along a photo. Chapman's response caught her off guard. He said it looked a lot like a Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus).

Key Points: 
  • This marks the first time a shark of its kind has been found in western Caribbean waters off the world's second longest barrier reef.
  • "At first, I was sure it was something else, like a six gill shark that are well known from deep waters off coral reefs," Kasana said.
  • After conferring with several Greenland shark experts, the final determination was that it was definitely in the sleeper shark family and because of its large size, it was most likely a Greenland shark or a hybrid between the Greenland shark and Pacific sleeper shark (Somniosus pacificus).
  • What is known about them is they tend to prefer the frigid waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans.
