Discovery Lecture Series: Prying into the private lives of mussels and oysters
To many people, shellfish such as oysters and mussels seem like they’re just rocks with food inside. But before they arrive on a dinner table, those animals spend years stuck to rocks, piers, boats, and each other, where they make a living sucking up whatever happens to be floating by in the water. It's not a glamorous life by any measure, but mussels and oysters are doing their part to keep our bays and coasts lively and productive, while having to avoid all sorts of threats to their survival. Using cutting-edge technology (and some old-fashioned methods), we can gain a window into the lives of these shellfish, and learn about how they cope with changing temperatures, salinity, oxygen, and even human pollution. With modern internet-connected oysters, we can keep tabs on their behavior in local estuaries and bays and look for changes in behavior that might be associated with a variety of different stressors.
Luke Miller is variously a marine ecophysiologist, biomechanic, intertidal ecologist, or just gadget guy, depending on the day and the weather. Luke is primarily interested in how ocean animals deal with the physical environment including the weather and waves, as well as how they deal with each other via competition and predation. Much of his research has focused on Pacific coast rocky intertidal and estuary habitats from California to Alaska, but he has also worked on New England rocky shore communities, on Antarctic scallops, and in kelp forests. Luke was born and raised in San Pedro - more specifically in the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium during afternoons after school and during the summer. Luke graduated from San Pedro High School, then went on to school at UC Santa Barbara and Stanford University, and is currently an Associate Professor of Biology at San Diego State University.

There are over 1,400 species of bats worldwide. Bats, order Chiroptera, are the only mammals capable of powered flight. Within the order Chiroptera there are numerous feeding specializations including insects, nectar and pollen, blood, leaves, and other animals. There are even bats who specialize in eating spiders off the spider’s web! One of the rarest food preferences found in the Chiroptera ...

Crustaceans of the order Amphipoda are ubiquitous in the marine realm, and include some species that occur in freshwater and terrestrial environments. With more than 6,000 named species, the alpha-diversity of this one crustacean lineage exceeds that of the mammals. Among the amphipods, members of the family Cyamidae have a particularly interesting ecology; they live in obligate symbiotic assoc...

Pollution in our environment has been a highlighted concern since Rachel Carson’s pivotal book Silent Spring. With an increase in regulatory laws governing the use and disposal of chemicals came a reduction in the release of large amounts of pollutants. Despite improvements in water quality, so-called legacy pollutants like DDT or PCBs remain leading contaminants of concern in aquatic environme...

Research in hydrothermal vents in the deep-sea has revealed an amazing diversity of microorganisms relying on chemical energy instead of sunlight. However, studying these vents is quite challenging due to the difficulty and cost of sending submersibles or remotely operated vehicles to visit them and collect samples. The shallow-sea hydrothermal vents at White Point (WP) in Palos Verdes Peninsul...

Discovery Lecture Series: How to Survive a Shark Attack - Lessons from Hagfishes
I'm looking into the aquaculture part up in Maine, for $300 a year you can lease one acre of ocean bottom or for $2,000 you can lease the bottom and the entire 1 acre water column. so on the bottom you can raise soft shell clams and oysters, but if you add the water column it includes muscles, scallops and sugar kelp, and each acre yields 30-40 tons of sugar kelp and 225,000 of each type of shell fish. Sugar kelp is placed after hurricane season Oct-Nov and harvested mid summer. No fresh water use, no herbicides no pesticides, no rodenticides, no fertilizers, just plant it and watch it grow.
One of my absolute favorite aquariums! Good luck, I'll be donating!
good stuff yall 👍thank u for everything you do
Sounds a lot like she's just taking credit for a whole bunch of other ppls' work!
I've found smaller fields of sulfur-oxidizing bacterial filaments off Palos Verdes Point and Torrance Beach, the latter includes active vents. We spend a lot of time trying to photograph the bubbles escaping from the bottom.
Amazing
What time did the fish come ashore two weeks ago?
It may have been very late. High tide isn't until nearly midnight and grunion typically wait at least an hour after high tide peak. As of July 11th we don't expect to see much if any of them again for this season.
I came upon these 2 parts about John Olguin and had not seen them before. What a great tribute to one of the finest people to have ever lived.

search utube: Live Argonaut found in its shell the Paper Nautilus, it shows an Argonaut out of the shell with the 2 wide sail-like tentacles exposed... ur video shows one of the special sail-like tentacles being deployed inside the shell..could now see why the shell is see through, so the sail-like lobe tentacles can change colors to camouflage the animal...the purple iridescent color shift...almost like the deep purple of the open seas...then silver to match bright sunlight. pretty cool : )
falcosparverius1 argonauts don't have "shells" the "shell" is the female argonauts egg case.
What do you do with the larvae? Do you let them go in the ocean or do they just die in the tank?
John Olguin was a wonderful teacher, passionate about the ocean and the ocean life. As a child, he taughte me about whales and other ocean life.
Thank you for posting this tape. I loved watching John teach the children how the whales eat and then be healthy.
