Scientists reported they found about 100 potential new deep-sea species — including one mystery creature — during an expedition off the coast of New Zealand.
Marine researchers on a mission to record life hidden in the world’s oceans have reported they found about 100 potential new species — including one mystery starlike creature. The expedition team focused its investigation on the 500-mile long Bounty Trough, a little-explored part of the ocean off the coast of New Zealand, east of South Island.
We don’t know where it is in the tree as of yet, so that’ll be interesting,” Moore said. Dr. Michela Mitchell, a taxonomist at the Queensland Museum Network, said in a statement released by Ocean Census it could be a type of deep-sea coral called octocoral. “Even more excitingly, it could be a whole new group outside of the octocoral. If it is, that is a significant find for the deep sea and gives us a much clearer picture of the planet’s unique biodiversity,” she said in the statement.
