Thirty-Eight
New Fish Species Found in Greenland!
New Fish Species Found in Greenland!
 |
Thirty-eight odd new fish
species have been spotted off the coast of Greenland.
Ten of the species new to
Greenland are new to science too. All 38
were discovered since the last such survey in 1992.
Rising ocean
temperatures due to global warming-which could be drawing unfamiliar
fishes to the region-and increased deep-sea fishing may be responsible
for the spike in fresh fish faces seen off Greenland, according to the
study, published in February in the journal Zootaxa.
