How do the layers of the ocean mix together? The energy put in by the winds and tides is less than what’s required for the amount of mixing, so what else is bringing the mixing energy? Turns out, it might be very active anchovy reproduction.
Here are the two SciShow videos we mentioned:

I would argue that krill would still cause biomixing because of how many other creatures feed on them

~ the Anchovies
That was funny, good one.
Hee hee, Instead of a butterfly-effect, it is the Fish-bone effect
Hee hee 😂
Fun Fact: When Hank said that the early relatives of the anchovies had saber tooth, he referred to the Saber-Toothed Salmon, which was quite large, **and yes, everything in the Ice Age had to have huge teeth and ivories totally not to dig up stuff or use em as knifes :]**
Hank saying "anchovy sex" right as I took my first bite of a Caesar Salad was perfect.
I actually shouted "What?!" when the Bizarre Beast's name was revealed - I was not expecting that all! A very good video about a bizarre scientific theory that I would have never guessed in a million years!
Lol me too!
My bad, I have bad form when swimming
“It was you!” -Dracula
You've had your fun. Now it's my churn.
That is some epically bad form their, my friend!
Yo mama so fat she dove in the ocean and now the layers are mixing
@@kurocknotabi3476 10/10 :D
Gotta say, I was definitely not expecting to hear "ANCHOVY SEX" this early in my morning....
and I also think it's absolutely wild that anchovy eggs develop in SIXTY HOURS?!??! Talk about life on the fast track??? I didn't think any macro-sized organisms could develop that fast!
Calling anchovies "macro-sized" is hyperbole on your side. But they're definitely macro in flavor.
@@LuisAldamiz They're not microscopic, was what I meant, haha. I don't think I've ever eaten them.
@@Beryllahawk Have you ever had a Caesar salad?
@@SaruCharmed Nope! I've seen the American version, which doesn't involve any fish, but I do know of the "actual" version, and also the Nicoise salad. Just never tried them. I might go look for anchovy filets soon though!
@@Beryllahawk Even in America, the dressing is made with anchovies. I think most people who have them don't even realize they're eating fish. It doesn't taste fishy, just salty.
Somewhere I read approx " the most exciting sound in science is not 'Eureka' but 'that's weird?' "
pretty you all just proved that.
Season 0 was fun and necessary for factual accuracy reasons, but im glad were back to regular Bizarre Beasts, the production is pristine
I'm new to this channel. What's this mean?
@@morg630 season 0 was a recap of all the animals Hank originally talked about on the vlogbrothers channel, with scientific accuracy updates
@@Chrismas815 i see, ty
I've never seen an anchovy, i thought it was a weird vegetable people don't like on pizza. I didn't know it was a silvery European fish!
Check out the Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs movie lol there's a famous anchovy
But people *do* like it on pizza. We're just scared to say so in public because the haters are so militant.
@@tinkergnomad You haven't seen the futurama episode, have you?
I grew up watching spongebob and Futurama, so of course I know what anchovies are 😂
Wait till you see iceberg lettuce, it's gonna blow your mind. Spoiler * it's nothing to do with ice. 🤯
Spanish researchers: Do you smell it? That smell. The kind of smelly smell. The kind of smelly smell that smells... smelly…
ANCHOVIES
Took too much scrolling to find this tbh
Spongebob reference? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Call them anchoas, call them boquerones, all them will fall for the taste (they don't smell that much but the taste is very intense).
"The physics of the ocean is about to get freaky"
Some Anchovies probably
''K'nuckles! You're drinking the entire ocean! Stop it, don't you know what fishies do in there?!''
I see candied island boy
Frank?
Bwahaha
nothing - and i mean NOTHING - prepared me for the reveal at 0:49
Hank really said "anchovy sex" with such strong, consummate professionalism i had to pause and let it echo in my brain
REAL TALK:
How many different science-communication channels am I going to click on only to be greeted by this man once again? YOU'RE EVERYWHERE
Hank Green or Simon Whistler, you’ll never escape them
@@mcpudd1540 were you trying to? I mean, you're right, but it's GOOD copious content. 😂❤
It's either him or Simon whistler 😂 I'm not mad though!
I thought anchovies were vegetables when I was a kid. I know they're not, but my brain always autocorrects when I hear the word. So vegetables mixing the ocean.
My brain always thinks of green olives when i read anchovies
Let's not forget that there IS a significant source of heat energy at the bottom of the ocean - geothermal vents. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was taken into account in modeling because it seems too obvious to miss.
Not where the data was collected. Geothermal vents are in the mid-Atlantic Ocean ridge, i.e. between Iceland and Azores, not so close to the coasts.
There are plenty of people taking thermal vents into account, but iirc they're not a significant source of mixing globally (I would guess just because there aren't enough of them, not quite my area). It's actually been proven since Sandström that you don't need the heat source to be below the cooling to achieve convection anyway
@@LuisAldamiz Google "map of geothermal undersea vents for the fastest proof of how wrong you are. Not to be a tool, but that was just very wrong. They are literally everywhere there is a fault line at sea, which is all around the world, and MANY of them are quite close to shore.
@@WrenStuart-y9h There are over 500 KNOWN vent fields, each with many many vents spread over hundreds of miles. But they absolutely ARE a significant convection source anywhere they are. Most of them were discovered because of the large plume of warm water they sent toward the surface. Can you cite a source that says they are not a significant source of mixing?
Not my field either, but that is truly counterintuitive. If you've ever seen one in action in person, just one vent in a field can be sending tens of thousands of gallons a minute from the floor to the surface...... but that's less significant than fish swimming up and down a few meters at a time?
@@backpacker3421 - I did search for those maps (Startpage rather than Google, I've been trying to de-Googleize for very long now) and they totally confirm my previous beliefs: hydrothermal vents are along the mid-Atlantic ridge (the "wound" as Afro-Eurasia and America(s) pull apart from each other) and NOT near the coasts.
Animals unintentionally maintaining their environment.

The opposite to humans
thats incredible. would never have thought such a small fish could have such a big impact
This IS going to be one of the best pins you've ever made. It will have such a place of honor on my ocean pin banner, amongst the sharks and kelp pins, and of course, my favorite of all time -- the Bizarre Beasts hagfish pin.
This is hilarious and indeed bizarre and you've significantly contributed to my mood. Thank you so much for that!
things were said in this video that kept having me thinking "well I didnt expect to hear that today... or ever"
I did not expect that reveal. I had to sit down from giggling too much
As someone who used to get punched in the head a lot for some extra spending cash, I feel like chins are an easy solve, namely, we have them to protect the teeth and mouth, same reason our cheeks are fatty and poofy, and the eye orbital and other parts of the skull extend out over where the teeth are placed. Makes it so it's basically impossible for an adult human fist and similar sized objects to connect directly with our very sensitive and irreplaceable teeth so long as the mouth is closed.
It seems to me that every creature in the ocean would help to do the mixing, with some doing more work than others.
The ocean has a lot of thermal vents that create the convection from the bottom that helps to mix things. The salt content may also be a factor for mixing things, different densities different movement.
All in all I think its the entire biodiversity of the ocean along with tectonic shifts under it and of course the tides that gives us our beautiful oceans instead of giant lakes of stagnant water. And that, my friends, is a very good thing!
Not at those locations.
I believe there are underwater currents too. And icebergs .
I learn more from Hank Green than my Oceanography professors
Poseidon, of course
Though his anchovies, of course.
@@thekaxmax Olympus works in mysterious ways
Still the best video series on the internet. And the best day of the month. I truly love you guys.
As a commercial fisherman, all the fish in the ocean, stir the ocean just by swimming
I had this on my watch later playlist before you changed the title and thumbnail, so I had the question raised and answered before even watching it
Just keep swimming... just keep swimming...
Or the ocean dies.
When i first heard about this problem, my immediate reaction was "well, animals exist, surely that should play some part in mixing". Was not expecting specifically mating to be the answer xD
1:09 to 1:11 we all agree it’s so good
Step aside, Butterfly Effect. It's the Anchovy Effect's time to shine.
💚 Thank you for your efforts. I really appreciate it. You are great!
The brine shrimp time lapse looks like a Van Gogh
WHOA, I was not expecting that right out of the gate! 😮
Thank you, anchovies. Keep mixing ... work and pleasure.
I subscribed to the pin club last month especially for the hyrax and i got the rare one with pink sparkles! i love hyraxes!!
Ah humans... We ruin everything.
"We are the virus" mfs when a well executed prescribed burn walks into the room:
Now I'm going to feel guilty when I open a tin of anchovies for lunch.
Cool
Ruling out heat from below is a wild move. Especially with the extreme sea temp spike that can't be explained by greenhouse or solar activity.
You guys should team up with strangest thing I learned this week.
This is a literal case of the butterfly effect
The anchovy effect
Pls, do one about the sea bunny. 🙏 I know you did one about the leaf sea sheep, but it is sooo cute and "fuzzy". ❤❤❤🐰 I think people would also love it.
Dope
losing my mind at the image of a dead salmon in an mri
that was not in my mind when I opened my UA-cam for tea today, but well...
The fish in your deepdish makes the motion in the ocean.
I'm doing phd at the place where the study was conducted (very unrelated topic) and I had no idea this happened! I´m gonna have to go pester some people at the institute
This has serious ramifications for the Futurama universe.
Mixing it up and getting it on
The fact that ice floats means there's convection even when the heat source is from above. The temperature cannot stratify when the coldest part is forced on top.
Once again petitioning for an episode on flying squirrels!
Whoops, sorry about that. Accidentally sunk a boat full of immersion blenders
Anchovies? More like sea buffalo.
0:52 i almost choked on my food
Instant classic fish video 😄 right up there with the deep sea anglerfish
So what Hank is trying to say, it’s not the size of the animal. It’s the motion of the ocean.
Hey Hank, as you mentioned SciShow: Eight days without new videos, what's up over there (or isn't)?
I mean, I would also assume that the constant movement of the animals in the ocean as well as things like thermal vents... anchovy sex wasn't what I had in mind, but it will now be a permanent scar on my psyche
Uh-oh, guess no more anchovy pizzas, LOL! Seriously, that's totally cool!
“Sounding instrument”
Me: Internet flashbacks ptsd
My favorite snack!
Love makes the world go around, for now at least.
Anchovy paste adds depth of flavor to food.
Here is my comment for support
The vortex has entered the chat
I still love Hank's new hair - I know it came at a great cost but it rocks ❤
Shout out to anchovies. I love anchovies, sardines, and all types of canned seafood. A lot of people think they’re gross but that just means more for me!
So love really does make the -world- oceans go around.
Rather than anchovies, maybe it's the bristlemouth fish that contribute the most to ocean mixing? After all, there are an estimated 1 quadrillion (million billion) of them swimming about in the mesopelagic zone.
Biomixing makes perfect sense to me, i guess the only thing thats so bizarre is that we think fish are so small compared to the worlds oceans, but yeah, considering the sheer amount of life, it just makes sense.
Shout out to the zombie salmon brain scan
The 550-660 million tons of lantern fish biomass on their way to be completely forgotten despite containing 20% of all CO2
Fascinating. Anchovies are God... or at least Neptune. Let's not overfish them, OK?
"A Bunch of Anchovies" is the name of George RR Martin's next book
talk about the butterfly effect! I’ll never see anchovies the same again.
I'm surprised we didn't talk about like... the rotation of the earth, or the constant movement of the tectonic plates. It seems to me that new materual coming up out of a fault is Quite Hot and shock cooled upon contact. The substrait beneath the water itself is constantly edging along microns at a time. I imagine that's gotta send some energy into the water that causes churn.
I'm not saying the anchoveys don't help, I'm just surprised that in looking for the cause of motion for a large mass of water, we don't look at the proverbial container its sitting in and what forces its contributing from below. Like... idk, the kinetic energy from the entire mass of the planet spinning?
Lantern fish tho. They ascend and descend every day. And they're so abundant that they initially altered ocean floor readings.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? FISH-
I feel like Hanks vibe is different in this video. I like it. Might be the curls.
I think this is the first time I got the pin on the day the episode came out.
😮👍
thank you for such an amazing content. channels like these enormously increase bioconscience
Moon is crying in a corner 😢
Dr. Munk must have found it REALLY funny if he didn’t even take the opportunity to claim he was serious all along!
So over fishing is worse than we thought
Ah, ocean convection goes down if the surface is cooled to 4C or so and/or evaporation increases salinity.
6:55 Starry Night
My question is, ocean predating complex life on earth, was the ocean still then or having more distinct layers ? And is it necessary in this case to have relatively still oceans to see life develop in a meaningful way?
Anchovy?
Duce! Duce! Duce!
Surely a rare fluke would have a negligible impact on ocean mixing.
"anchovy sex!" *fun jingle*
ARE THOSE PRIDE ANCHOVY PINS?? I WANT TWELVE!
You should ask how are we fixing the dead zones fishing ships have made
You missed one of the greatest “pause here and put your thought/guess in the comments” moment! That would not have made my top 10,000 guesses
It had saber TOOF!! 😅
