“Combating Blue Throat Pike Blennys” by Mark Inexperienced, Honorable Point out Marine Life Conduct

As they care for his or her unhatched infants, feminine octopuses refuse to eat, inflicting them to die of hunger earlier than their younger emerge from their eggs. Kat Zhou documented certainly one of these marine moms as she was within the technique of such a deadly sacrifice, and the picture gained the Ocean Artwork 2022, the eleventh annual contest hosted by Underwater Photography Guide.

Zhou’s picture was chosen from hundreds of entries submitted from 96 nations, and the intimate picture joins a set that encompasses an enormous array of aquatic life and antics. Two aggressive pike blennies go face to face, a frog flashes a peace signal, and a menacing parasite hunts for its subsequent sufferer. Discover a few of our favourite photographs under, and see the entire profitable photographs on the contest’s site.
