Yes, the expedition also uncovered rare, dual hydrothermal vent fields in the Doldrums Fracture Zone.
The brief
An expedition involving MBARI researchers has recorded the first-ever footage of a barreleye fish in its natural deep-sea habitat. The discovery took place 13,123 feet below the surface within the Doldrums region of the Atlantic. The footage highlights the species' distinct features, including a transparent head and rotating green eyes.
Coverage from ScienceAlert, BBC Wildlife Magazine, Nautilus, and Yahoo emphasizes the biological anomalies of the creature, noting that its brain and internal head structures are visible. Parallel reports from MBARI, Ocean News & Technology, and Marine Technology News indicate that the expedition also discovered rare hydrothermal vent fields in the same Doldrums Fracture Zone. Future updates will likely provide more analysis of the newly discovered hydrothermal vent sites.
It remains to be seen how the data collected by the deep-sea robots will impact existing knowledge of deep-sea species distribution.
