Snailfishes are found globally in all ocean basins, from shallow intertidal waters to the deepest depths of the ocean to unsuspecting crabs that often serve as hosts to tiny snailfish eggs.
These slightly annoying but adorable fishes are well-adapted to a variety of habitats, including rocky outcrops, the muddy seafloor, and even the midwater. They play an important role as prey and predator in many ecosystems. Most snailfish species are small and feed on tiny invertebrates, but larger species may prey upon other fishes. MBARI has observed over a dozen species of snailfish in the past 34 years of exploration. We suspect there are dozens more out there waiting to be discovered.

A female Oceanic Whitetip (Carcharinus longimanus) using her long painted paddle-like fins to cruise through gatorade blue Kona waters. As opportunistic feeders, quick maneuvers to capture prey are vital for OWT as meals are often far between in the pelagic ecosystem - her fins are perfectly designed for agility and speed. Commercial fisheries by-catch combined with the rise in demand for shark fins is threatening #oceanic #whitetips. They are frequently caught in pelagic #longline, purse seine, and #gillnet #fisheries worldwide and their beautiful white-painted fins are highly valued in the international trade for shark products. In 2018, NOAA Fisheries listed OWT as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. #savesharks #fisharefriends photo by 📷: @camgrantphotography // post by: @saltybluecharni https://www.instagram.com/p/BxOH_2mBjb2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1loy9rhjx48a

Available Saturday May 14th for the Live Stream Event! I know what you're thinking. "But Nicole you already made a post for the ice cream dinocats" Well take a second look because these are not dinocats, they're CATSHARKS! They still have those super cute brows but instead of looking grumpy, they look more curious or maybe they're just trying to give you the ol puppy dog eyes in hopes that you will share your snack with them. Either way, I'm not sharing. 😜 . . #sharkcat #darlinghomebody #minifigure #resinart #resinfigure #icecream #sundae #catdecor #sprinkles #cuteshark #arttoy #handmademini #resin #alumilite #sweettreat #fisharefriends #catshark #resintoy #resinmini #chicagoartist #makersgottamake https://www.instagram.com/p/CdZcqatM2oR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I struggled to get into the water. There was an overwhelming amount of people on the wharf when I arrived and seeing the contents of their buckets made me feel ill. I understand that there is a right for people to fish, to sustain themselves from seafood. But it seems like there is a dedicated group of relentless takers, who are there from morning to dusk, and who do not respect our ocean and estuary environment.
With a heavy heart and a sore shoulder to boot, I got in and decided to swim to the channel marker and then mosey back rather than tag along with the pod (who were going further). When I returned to the wharf, there was a baby snapper floating upside down, and very dead. It would have only been thrown back minutes before I arrived, as it was still floating right by the steps on a strong incoming tide. I felt like lead as I got out, heavy and without hope.
I keep thinking about ways I can use my photos to create change, to show people what it is that they are hurting when they take so many fish out of the water. I just don’t know where to start.
