Scientists stunned by discovery of three never-before-seen snailfish in the Pacific Ocean
In a significant marine discovery, researchers have identified a new deep-sea snailfish species, the bumpy snailfish (Careproctus colliculi), in Monterey Canyon. This pink-hued fish, with its distinctive textured skin, was found at a depth of over 3,268 meters. The discovery, aided by MBARI's advanced technology, highlights the importance of deep-sea biodiversity research.
