Mysterious 'buzzing in the Pacific Ocean

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Mysterious ‘buzzing in the Pacific Ocean may be caused by deep sea creatures emitting gas that acts like ‘a dinner bell’

  • Californian researchers used hydrophones to measure humming noise
  • Noise is created when deep sea creatures head to the surface to feed
  • May be a ‘dinner bell’ communication or the sound of them farting 

A mysterious noise coming from the depths of the Pacific Ocean has baffled scientists for years.

Now marine biologists thinks they have the answer – and it may be as simple as fish emitting gas as they travel towards the ocean’s surface to find food under the cover of darkness.

However, their leading theory is that the sound may serve as a ‘dinner bell’ for fish, shrimp, jellies and squid living in the mesopelagic zone, 600 to 3,300ft (200 to 1,000 metres) below the waves.

Scientists have ruled out the noise coming from whales because it is too loud.

Marine biologists from the University of California San Diego and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which are both in La Jolla, California, said the deep-water organisms play a key role in ocean food webs and the global carbon cycle and that by studying them, scientists could better understand this mysterious ecosystem.

Assistant research biologist Simone Baumann-Pickering at the University of California, said that taken together, the organisms weigh approximately 10 billion tons and are a major link in the food chain between microscopic plankton and top predators like tuna, birds and marine mammals.

Because of their combined mass, these animals also play a major role in the global cycling of carbon from the atmosphere to the seafloor.
