Common Remora

The Common Remora does not seem to have a negative overall effect on its host. The host provides the remora with fast-moving water to bathe its gills, a steady flow of food, transportation, and protection. The remora benefits the host by feeding in part on some of its parasites, but increases its hydrodynamical drag. Common Remora is commonly found in warm marine waters from all over the world.

Humpback Whales of Samaná

I went to the Samaná Peninsula, in Santo Domingo, to film the Humpback Whales in one of the world's breeding grounds for these whales. During this period, the Humpback Whales stay until the welps acquire, after the nursing period, their autonomy, but above all to protect them from the Orcas, their main predators. During winter and early spring, humpback whale watching is increasingly becoming an important income-generating activity for the province.

Special mission mediterranean Spiny Lobster

It is late August and Summer is the period in which many marine organisms prepare for procreation. We have therefore decided to reach a deep Mediterranean coral reef, over 7 miles from the coast. The procreation have pushed these crustaceans to gather at the same time and in the same place. Procreation, in fact, occurs at the end of the Summer and in the Winter the larvae are born, which immediately reach the seabed that will host them for the rest of their lives.

Spotted Eagle Ray

The Spotted Eagle Ray, (Aetobatus narinari), is a cartilagionus fish of the eagle ray family, Myliobatidae. As traditionally recognized, it is found globally in tropical regions, including the Atlantic, pacific and Indian Oceans. Spotted eagle rays are most commonly seen alone, but occasionally swim in groups. They are ovoviviparous, the female retaining the eggs then releasing the young as miniature versions of the parent. This ray can be identified by its dark dorsal surface covered in white spots or rings.

It has been described as "the most invasive decapod species to enter the Mediterranean". It populates the rocky ravines of the infralittoral plain at a depth ranging from a few centimeters to a maximum of 30 meters.
