New species of deep-sea #shark and #crab discovered off Western Australia https://phys.org/news/2025-10-species-deep-sea-shark-crab.html

"Researchers have described a new species of #DeepSea #lanternshark and crab, both from specimens collected from a 2022 voyage of #ResearchVessel Investigator... Nearly 20 #NewSpecies have now been described from the voyage, including the Carnarvon Flapjack #Octopus earlier in 2025. Researchers estimate that there are potentially up to 600 new species still waiting to be described from the voyage"

Vibrant #CoralReefs Discovered in Historic Exploration of #Uruguay’s Deep Sea https://schmidtocean.org/vibrant-coral-reefs-discovered-in-historic-exploration-of-uruguays-deep-sea/

"the #DeepSea coral reefs off the coast are thriving... The reefs, built by D. pertusum, a slow-growing, cold-water stony coral, were healthier, larger, and richer with life than anticipated... they observed a mix of temperate and subtropical species, supported by warm and cold water currents that meet off the coast... they discovered at least 30 suspected #NewSpecies"
