Have you ever seen salps before? Salps are gelatinous, barrel-shaped marine animals that drift through the ocean, filtering plankton as they go. Despite their jelly-like appearance, they’re actually more closely related to vertebrates than jellyfish! They can form long, glowing chains, like this group here. 🤩📹 GoPro 11 with AOI wide angle lens📍Tala Bay, Aqaba#Salps #nature #scuba #scubadiving #p#underwater #g#underwaterlife #aoi #underwaterworld #buceo #aqaba #marinebiology #paditv @topfans |

"What's that on the beach?!" Monterey Bay beachcombers and divers were treated to a huge bloom of salps this weekend! Salps are gelatinous filter-feeders that drift with and feed in the plankton. Wind and waves sometimes blow these open-ocean emissaries onshore by the thousands, a feast for fishes, invertebrates—and for the eyes of curious naturalists! There were several species of salps in this weekend's bloom, including these in the genus Salpa. Salps do not sting—in fact, they're more closely

Sea squirts & squid! ROV pilots filmed these salps and spectacular squid during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition with @oceancensus in early 2025. Salps, also known as sea squirts, are ubiquitous throughout the Ocean, and abundant in the Southern Ocean. During the 35-day deep-sea expedition to one of the most remote island chains in the world, scientists observed thriving polar ecosystems and discovered new hydrothermal vents and coral gardens. They uncovered a wide range of potentially new m

Salps are one of the fastest-growing multicellular animals on Earth. When phytoplankton “bloom,” it’s a salp feeding frenzy—and that leads to a lot of poop. That poop sinks to the ocean depths, removing tons of CO2 from the atmosphere in the process. Discover how salps help regulate our climate at Ocean Encounters, a live virtual event on March 22, starring the soft-bodied animals of the deep!

CURIOSITY on Instagram: "Salps are transparent, barrel-shaped drifters often mistaken for jellyfish—but they’re actually distant relatives of vertebrates through the tunicate family. They move by rhythmically pumping water, filtering plankton as they glide. Sometimes, they link together into long, shimmering chains stretching for meters—an alien sight beneath the waves. But beyond their beauty, salps are powerful: they can swarm in massive numbers, consume vast amounts of plankton, and send carb

Though they may look like alien slime, salps are powerful players in the fight against climate change. These unsung ocean heroes absorb massive amounts of carbon and transport it deep into the ocean—potentially more than the Amazon Rainforest. But this video is more than marine biology.
