Ecotasia's video: What is Mutualism Symbiosis explained with Subnautica

With Leviathans lurking sometimes creatures teams up to survive the seas of Subnautica. Take for example The titan holefish, essentially useless, easy prey. Until something goes for the donut fish and in turn is attacked by the aggressive symbiotes nesting in the gills. When two organisms of different species interact in a way beneficial to both of them, it is called mutualism. Elsewhere you got crashfish nesting in a plant that use their sulfuric secretions. Quite like the mutualism between anemonefish and anemones. In some caves, jellyshrooms are home to crabsnakes. Little fish want to eat the jelly donut and in turn make good food for the crabsnake, so they are invited to stay and lay eggs inside the jellyshroom. This relationship is similar to certain worms that live in deep water coral which strengthen, clean, and defend the reef. [1] Anchored to the surrounding seabed by their arms, vent gardens position themselves just above a deep sea vent, drawing the heated water inside where flora grows in safety which feed the giant. This is like giant tube worms which do not have a digestive system, instead housing bacteria that convert hydrogen sulfide from the vents into energy, in a vascularized organ called the trophosome.

I try to achieve the most well researched content I can, that said it is impossible to create content that is exhaustive on a given topic and therefore I implore you to investigate a given topic further. Welcome to Ecotasia! On this channel you can find wildlife footage and short documentaries on the natural world. I am an early career biologist who was inspired by the likes of the BBC Natural History unit, PBS, and Animal Planet as a child and then more recently by various nature YouTube channels to share my love for animals and nature. My goal is to document and highlight the interesting ecology and behavior of organisms I encounter, as well as cover and elucidate conservation and biological topics.
