If you happen to be an unfortunate men’s size 7 Nike shoe, one of 50+ species of octopus, a big shard of plastic or rope, or any number of reef, oceanic, and deep sea fish, you might find yourself undigested in a Longnose Lancetfish’s stomach! That’s after you’ve been trapped between cage-like teeth with no get-out-of-jail-free card. That said, we’d like to give a big thank you to lancetfish for being amazing samplers of the marine environment and helping scientists understand ocean food webs and the pervasiveness of plastic pollution! Our guests are Emily Contreras with NOAA Fisheries in Honolulu and Lauren Flynn with our Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge.
