The world discovered a new species of aquatic animals. “The pink lump” of the sea, the big eyes Very cute
Scientists in the United States have just discovered a new species of deeper. Snail fish (Snailfish) Small size Outside the coast of California In which this organism is not only scientifically If still becoming “Star” Of the sea with a cute face
This new fish has scientific name Careproctus colliculi And was nicknamed “Bumpy snailfish” Means snail fish, convex The distinctive feature is a sparkling light pink. Blue eyes are too large. And the body shook back and forth Watching a thin but cute
Currently, the world has more than 400 types of snail fish, some types live as deep as science. And now adding 3 more varieties, namely
-
BUMPY SNAILFISH (CareProctus Colliculi) pink
-
Dark Snailfish (C. Yanceyi) black
-
SLEEK SNAILFISH (Paraliparis EM) black
Dr. McKense Geringer (Mackenzie Gerringer) Marine biologists, the discoverer said
“Seeing people feel bound to deep aquatic animals It is very exciting. Many kinds of charm and similar to us. They are our deepel neighbors. “
This finding occurred at Valley under the Monterey Canyon In the middle of the California coast 12,000 feet Researchers use modern underwater tools such as the ROV and the ALVIN submarine to observe and collect samples.
Geringer explained that This type of snail fish has a high adjustment. Able to withstand enormous pressure, coldness and almost completely darkness What humans think is cruel But for them are “homes”
in fact Bumpy snailfish Has been collected since 2019, but before scientists confirm that it is a “new type”, it takes many years to do DNA Sequencing and analyze the shape thoroughly.
“Confirmation of new species of organisms is a slow process,” said Geringer. “But when the evidence of the pieces began to compose together We are more confident that this is a fish that has never been recorded before in the science industry. Therefore can name “
Despite only the length 2-3 inches But this type of snail fish is not just good Because its body has a special protein that helps tolerate high pressure, and also “Pharmal Jaws” hidden in the throat. Used to grind the hard bark of the victim.
“Many fish can ‘taste’ with fins. They may use elasticity to know what the surrounding. And even without sunlight But there is still a sparkling light from biological glow We still don’t know how much they use. Which is an issue that should be studied in the future “
especially Bumpy snailfish Which has 22 fins and is used to control the movement elegantly These fins are not only helping to swim and turn. But is also a feeling of feeling to the environment
Snail fish in the family Liparidae Has a big head shape Soft body jelly Some species live in shallow basins. Some types can live to the bottom of the ocean. Some of them are attached to a large animal using a suction sheet on the stomach. Or sticking to the rock and curled like a snail
Geringer left that “In this violent environment Instead, life looks fragile and very beautiful. This warns us to open up a variety of residences on earth. And learn to truly appreciate the mystery of the sea. “
