This Mesmerising Underwater Blob Is Actually A Huge, Rare Mass Of Squid Eggs
A team of divers filmed a rare glimpse of a huge transparent egg sac containing hundreds of thousands of baby squid. The stunning underwater video was filmed by Ronald Raasch, 48, as he was diving with two other team members from the research vessel REV Ocean in the cold waters outside Ørsta, Norway.
A strange, undulating blob found in the waters of Ørstafjorden in Norway has turned out to be a rare sight: a giant mass of squid eggs. The otherworldly ball, floating mysteriously in the darkness of the fjord, was discovered by captain Nils Baadnes and diver Ronald Raasch with the research vessel REV Ocean. It wasn't long before they learnt what it was. "[It] is actually an eggmass of 10-armed #squid!" reads a tweet on the vessel's official Twitter account.
