New Fish Discovered YEY!!!


 Scientists have discovered a new species of fish living almost 4 1/2 miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.The ghostly white snailfish was found September 10 in the Peru-Chile trench in the South Pacific by an international team of marine biologists led by Alan Jamieson of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. The scientists also found cusk-eels and crustaceans living in the trench off the west coast of South America. Those creatures had never before been observed at such depths, where sunlight never penetrates and water pressure is almost 10,000 pounds per square inch.
It looks really yummy, i wonder if it tastes good stir fried with onions Or steamed whole with ginger slices and 2 tbs of cognac, topped with parsley leaves and strips of spring onions and red chillies.(thats the hungry me talkin), infact, I wonder if  it tastes like chicken.. imagine it creole seasoned smoked with mesquite,flour tortilla andpico,with a cold corona perhaps? Pathetic, a new Fish has been discovered and all I can think about is  the new fish in the market and how it tastes, Oh God have mercy. I have love and appetite for all life forms, except Human coz that my friend would be cannibalism.
I bet I'll see this in the chinese menu at my fave Chinese restaurant ina couple of weeks
To test whether these species would be found in all trenches, we repeated our experiments on the other side of the Pacific Ocean off Peru and Chile, some 6,000 miles from our last observations,” Jamieson said. “What we found was that indeed there was another unique species of snailfish living at 7,000 meters — entirely new to science, which had never been caught or seen before.”“Our findings, which revealed diverse and abundant species at depths previously thought to be void of fish, will prompt a rethink into marine populations at extreme depths,” said Jamieson, who led researchers from Japan and New Zealand in the project.“It begs the question of why and how they can live so deep in this trench but not in any other,” said Niamh Kilgallen, an expert on the creatures at the New Zealand institute.“These findings prompt a re-evaluation of the diversity and abundance of life at extreme depths," Jamieson said.
