Original: 57 New Marine Species Discovered in # Argentina ’s Submarine Canyons # Ocean Census and Schmidt Ocean Institute fast-tra
Scientists with Ocean Census and the Schmidt Ocean Institute have identified 57 previously unknown marine species from submarine canyons off Argentina's South Atlantic coast. The haul includes 22 echinoderms such as sea cucumbers and crinoids, plus 20 copepods. Researchers gathered in Buenos Aires to fast-track species identification, and the findings highlight how little is known about deep-sea life in the region.
Why now: The unusually large number of new deep-sea species discovered off Argentina is a striking recent scientific finding.
