After 2.5 months we recorded the same bellows in the unique marine area between Chios, Ikaria and Samos, above the sea trench that exceeds 1100 meters in depth. 

The bellows (Physeter macrocephalus) is the largest toothfish on the planet with a length of 8-12 m for females and 16-18 m for males and weights of 24 and 57 tons respectively. It has a lifespan of about 70 years. Their population in the Mediterranean is less than 2,500 adults, and their presence has been reported in the Greek seas since antiquity, with Aristotle’s impressive records for the time.

Only when we become aware of the unique richness of our seas can we protect them!
