#ProjectESCA lives! @ALCESonline and I developed this novel light lure with funding from @PureOceanFund. It uses a quiet frame, illumination invisible to the animals, a 360-degree camera, and simulated bioluminescence to attract shy deepsea animals.

#wellycon #boardgame con is on this weekend and I caught up with the creators of #EndevourDeepSea on @DeepSeaPod. For the cons special edition card they wanted to showcase New Zealand marine science and used our expedition.

...where do I put this on the impact reporting?

#ComingSoon #deepsea inspired #games

Jose, developer of @sub_rov, talks with us about working with #scientists to make his marine exploration #sim as accurate as possible.

Even better, the game is currently in the #Steam ocean #sale.

This #batfish was the highlight of today's processing.

Never a dull moment at #TePapa! Today I met THE #tortoise #torty from our #galipoli exhibition.

Not planned, I just bumped into her!

This place is something else.

[Dr Thom @ThomLinley]

Lovely gift left on my desk. Meet Tulip.

[Dr Thom @ThomLinley]

@oceanexplorer @Victor__Aramayo I can hear it...

[Dr Thom @ThomLinley]

Love you @FijiSc for helping me keep count.

Sorry the next episode still isn't out, @ThomLinley is still out chasing #ColossalSquid
Buuuut.....

A larval Macrourid sighting at 917 m! ROV pilots filmed future-fish during the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition, supported by @schmidtsciences. Scientists are studying midwater organisms and how they sequester carbon.

@newskieschris It's been pretty cool!

[Dr Thom @ThomLinley]

The day before heading out to #Antarctica to look for the #colossalsquid with our low-light/far-red camera, I caught #IronLungMovie and loved it.

Now I'm in an inhospitable environment looking for monsters in an ocean of blood 😐.

[Dr Thom @ThomLinley]

The shapes of #PancakeIce are really satisfying. They remind me of jellyfish, giant waterlilies and some sort of paper sculpture.

Eerily peaceful moments at 3am off Ross Island. #antarctica is a magical place of extremes.

[Dr Thom @ThomLinley]

A new record for #projectESCA, down to 700 m deep from a Zodiac using a pot-hauler and a battery.

This project is the embodiment of #number8wire.

Too many cookies over Christmas? Why not use a smaller #cookiecuttershark to cut back?

Adorable little horror.

[Dr Thom @ThomLinley]

#anglerfish are so gross and scary!

Oh really, have you seen the babies? They look like a furious peeled grape!

What’s the deepest-living fish ever recorded? Not this one! (But they’re related.) Check out our new Ocean Exploration Fact to learn about how snailfish and other “deepest fish” contenders make things work at the absolute limits for vertebrate life. https://t.co/h5En5d1cKy

I wondered why I was randomly drawn to this doorway.
