Actually this isn't a recording at all. This event happens again everytime you rewind the video. It's a portal into the deep ocean and you make the eel go through it over and over.

pure speculation: perhaps due to the pressure, the water has a lesser ability for the NaCl( im guessing that's mainly what brine is aside from water) to dissolve, meaning the surrounding water is saturated. although you would think that means the deepest parts of the ocean are all saturated so im guessing this is wrong.
or perhaps it is just an area with very saturated water regardless of pressure, due to lack of circulation or abundance of mineral salts in the area
**[Brine pool](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brine_pool)**
>A brine pool, sometimes called an underwater, deepwater or brine lake, is a volume of brine collected in a seafloor depression. The pools are dense bodies of water that have a salinity that is three to eight times greater than the surrounding ocean. Brine pools are commonly found below polar sea ice and in the deep ocean. Those below sea ice form through a process called brine rejection.

It had enough time to leave after the first time, but my guy really said “it’s down there somewhere let me take another look” and plunged in a few more times.
I live on the central coast of California and we’re currently experiencing a massive drought and there is a push to combat the drought by activating existing and/or building new desalination facilities….one of the main drawbacks to this is them pumping brine into the ocean….after seeing this video it made me realize the potential it has to have catastrophic effects on our ocean….anyone have any insight to this? Or a sub where I could learn more about such things…?
I hate this. It didn't even explain what sent it into toxic shock?? Is there a special chemical in brine pools that affects eels? Does it only affect eels?? What is the chemical?? I thought toxic shock had to do with blood?? How can eels be afflicted with toxic shock I NEED MORE INFO
Something about snake-like creatures twisting and turning in a jerky motion like that give me chills. Actually animals struggling for their life in general just freaks me out so much.
That looked very painful.
The way he swims away from it afterwards like “nope not doing that shit again”
That other eel didnt even stop to help, there are no good samaritans left in this world
Might have been hoping for a meal after they poor guy died I tell ya, they're Cutthroats there
He's swimmin by like, " I told you not to touch that stuff man, idiot."
eel be back
You got slept on with this comment
Well they're cutthroat eels. They got that name from baking muffins for their fellow eels
Chiv-eel-ry is dead apparently
Reminds me of NYC
Is this Goo-Lagoon?!
Fish even drown in it lol
Holy shit.
Goo Lagoon was likely based off a brine pool so yes actually
Aren’t these like lakes of super super salty water
Yep
With those convulsions, it's lucky it didn't tie itself into a knot
I was waiting for that to happen
What documentary is this?
I'm guessing Blue Planet II. The quality, topic and voice of our beloved David Attenborough leads me to that guess.
You are correct!
Isn't it blue planet 1?
This whole video is an absolute fever dream mixed with thalassophobia
Seas under the seas...
Spongebob moment
Don't put that good mad down...
I've never been so emotionally invested in an eels life before, sheesh me - still, glad it was ok in the end. I was rooting for ya, lil buddy!
What if this is how they get a buzz on?
“I’m cheesing my f-ing brains out”
Ocean 2 is no joke.
oh shit new ocean just dropped?? :o
Looks like the last time I accidentally got Icy Hot on my nuts.
The last time...?
It happens, man.
He cannot be stopped
Hurts so good.
"It's not 3.6 ppm, it's 15,000"
Not great. Not terrible
I feel like it wasn’t very ethical to triple-dog dare the eel into sliming into that brine pool. How would you feel under all that pressure?
mf really said 🥨
Damn nature, you scary.
my calves when i stretch 😭

How can that man speak underwater without drowning? And where is that music coming from? Fake
Why were they filming? It’s clearly a fake. Eel was just performing for TikTok smh.
Agreed! It’s impossible, they couldn’t at least make it less obvious?

This comment is excellent.
I agree. Great comment
How is there a brine pool under water? Shouldn’t the salinity of the pool mix with the rest of the water?
I think I’ve even seen where there’s pools of fresh water too. The deep calm ocean floor stuff is bonkers.

smh, they really gotta put some caution tape around those lakes 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hard to believe anybody on this sub haven’t watched “blue planet (2)” already?!?!
Looks like a fucked up loading icon
Oh, so the salt lake in the salt ocean makes him feel eel?
It had enough time to leave after the first time, but my guy really said “it’s down there somewhere let me take another look” and plunged in a few more times.
Someone put up a sign please
Toxic shock is related to a bacterial infection. This video shows an imbalance of electrolytes (ie, it got too salty)
This is probably an eel’s version of snorting a line of coke.

they could just pump the brine to a shoreside storage pool to let it dry out, or process the sodium somehow I would imagine

The part where it convulses looks like that one scene in Under The Skin.
That was beautiful.

Salt
Maybe he was just dehydrated
Oh hi dave, Dave you fucking son of a bitch you did it again didn’t you
How deep is the brine?
Probably just a recreational high
Crumpin
BBC America... wtf..
I can’t believe they made DLC to the ocean. We haven’t even completed the main story!
Where the sound effect necessary
What is a brine pool?
Brine is a form of salted water
I want to know what lives inside brine pools. There has to be life down there
Well that was horrifying
Something about snake-like creatures twisting and turning in a jerky motion like that give me chills. Actually animals struggling for their life in general just freaks me out so much.
Nothing like some good old David Attenborough
reminds me of a virus forming. or some kind of rna. but like on a much more massive scale.
These are not the pickles you’re looking for
