They found a mysterious bubble at the bottom of the sea, which has a black spot inside
A group of divers found a mysterious one meter wide bubble deep in the ocean off the western coast of Norway.
A. At first glance it looks like a common and translucent bubble, but inside it has a strange black spot
Each bubble has about a thousand squid eggs
It was possible to identify what is inside the sphere that changes in consistency, from firm and transparent to flimsy and opaque, and has squid embryos in four different stages
The squid found within this bubble are known as Illex Coidentii, a common species of this animal.
They are created by females to protect their young from predators and keep them afloat.
As a result of this finding, a campaign was launched to obtain samples of these spheres with the aim of discovering a little more how they function.
As for the black spot inside it, it would be due to the release of ink at the time of fertilizing the ovules.
