it becomes clear which organisms contribute to the food chain out here in the sargasso sea.eah you have. we catch small in love and cut them open we remove the stomach in his molecular methods to determine what they eat jellyfish don't have skeletons as a result they get digested immediately that makes it really hard to use normal methods like microscopes to find traces of such organisms but now we have molecular methods so that we can find out what gelatinous organisms are in the stomachs we also examine which gelatinous organisms are in the water and then hopefully we can match the 2. maybe bidens are consummate. doing the a large a jellyfish. proving that is difficult. the meticulous counting job on board is only the 1st step for the researchers. analyzing the data will take several years only then will the results be ready for publication. are jellyfish and barter for the fish we eat establishing that would be a breakthrough for science. and the key not just for saving the european deal but also other endangered fish species. the jellyfish blooms symposium as an importan

amongst them the scientists discover the mysterious deal larvae that hatch here in the sargasso sea.one this size wouldn't survive in an aqua culture because nobody knows what these baby seals eat. that's why no one has ever been able to breed european eels. the multi net is lifted on board. gather samples from several depths between 0 and 400 meters. plankton experts cornelia yeah spring skills are needed. after hours of rinsing counting classifying. it becomes clear which organisms contribute to the food chain out here sarkar so see. we catch small and cut them open we remove the stomach and his molecular methods to determine what they eat jellyfish don't have skeletons as a result they get digested immediately that makes it really hard to use normal methods like microscopes to find traces of such organisms but now we have molecular methods so that we can find out what gelatinous organisms are in the stomachs we also examine which gelatinous organisms are in the water. and then hopefully we can match the 2. maybe buy ins are consummate. do ill larvae eat jellyfish. proving that is

we're going to sargasso sea and we're going to study and research microplastic and micropollution becausens. i didn't know this but 50% of our oxygen came from the oceans and we paid very little attention to them. and so there's this big worldwide initiative to protect 30% of the oceans by 2030. >> jimmy: did you tell me the last time you were here that you're very, very sea sic and you're a vomiter on the ocean? >> it's kind of like the thing where you have a baby or a dog and you wish the baby or the dog wouldn't complain and ask for food and change the diaper but you love it so you do it anyway. that's my relationship with the ocean. >> jimmy: does the ocean become upset that you're always vomiting into it? [ laughter ] >> and pluolluting it. it might be upset. maybe that's why it continues to rock the boat. >> jimmy: but i bet the fish love it, you know. [ laughter ] >> i'm adding to the ecosystem. i get my sea legs pretty quick. >> jimmy: all right. well, it's very good to see you. the show is "big little lies." you all know that. season finale sunday night. hbo. shailene woodley, ev
