Scientists identify 57 new marine species in South Atlantic
Scientists in Argentina and an international team conducted a two-week workshop in July to study deep-sea samples from the South Atlantic Ocean, resulting in the discovery of 57 new marine species and five new genera. Using remotely operated vehicles and advanced taxonomic techniques, they identified species such as a deep-sea echinoderm named Loki, along with copepods, corals, sea pens, and a mollusk. The findings enhance understanding of South Atlantic marine biodiversity and demonstrate the importance of international collaboration and technology in rapid species identification. A follow-up expedition is planned for 2027 to explore additional deep-sea habitats.
