Scientists Discover New Species in the Worlds Deepest Ocean Trenches

For this current event, I will identify and explain to you about the new species that was found on the Peru-Chile trench. This investigation and research was founded by a team of biologists coming from Aberdeen, Tokyo and New Zealand. This new type of snail fish, was supposedly found at a massive depth of 7000 meters. The interesting fact was that also types of crustaceans were also discovered in a new specie. The expedition time period was three-weeks aboard the vessel Solle, which in they explored the deep trenches with modern technologies. One of them included a free falling camera that took 6,000 pictures when falling down. This successful expedition is the seventh one in the organization of HADEEP, which is the cooperation of the Aberdeen University, the Tokyo Ocean Research Institute and the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research. This team has been exploring great depths for 3 years, but this is the first time of a new specie discovery.

"This expedition was prompted by our findings in 2008 and 2009 off Japan and New Zealand where we discovered new species of snailfish known as Liparids -- inhabiting trenches off Japan and New Zealand at depths of approximately 7000m -- with each trench hosting its own unique species of the fish."

"To test whether these species would be found in all trenches, we repeated our experiments on the other side of the Pacific Ocean off Peru and Chile, some 6000 miles from our last observations." "What we found was that indeed there was another unique species of snailfish living at 7000m -- entirely new to science, which had never been caught or seen before." stated Professor Alan Jamieson.

Back to the second surprising discovery was the crustacean scavengers, that are known amphipods. Many amphipod specialists have stated that many of these creatures are not found in such depths. There must be some sort of secret, because this is the only place where these creatures are found. Dr Toyonobu Fujii stated that fish survival and existence had been an intense question. He also stated that this exploration has provided "deeper insight" into the life of a surviving fish. After, this research has provided many deeper knowledge on survival and will effect the world in a couple of ways and insights.

Reflection

Along with its great facts and meaning, I surely learned a lot from it. This can also affect the world a whole lot. The big affect on society would be a bit about animals and their survival. Although this is not really important, it can be important in some areas. This information can help in survival tips and even affect the human world. I personally believe this article and discovery does affect society, but there is still a lot of research to identify. In my opinion, this article was very intriguing. The facts were really catchy and I thought it would make a great topic. This topic was really interesting and I love it. I really enjoy animals and this was a pleasing experience. After all, it was pleasure reading this.
