Scientists see this “rare” fish again after 25 years

The scholars sawhand fish(pressure (thisthis pressure) for the first time in 25 years near Flinders Island in Tasmania while on board a research vessel of the Advisory Council for Science and Industry (CSIRO) to take measurements of how climate It affects Marine parks and fisheries.

This fish was discovered in 1986 and there are 14 species, seven of which are endemic Tasmania. Also, there are only two barely visible specimens in the Australian National Fish Museum.

Thanks to the camera system on the ship, the researchers were able to see the “handfish” at a depth of 292 metres. Carly Devine, one of the researchers on board, said in a statement launch They suspect it’s a narrow-bodied handfish. But this handfish is much larger than the two fish we have on file.”

he Fish It was found about 100km from its current known location, so the researchers say they can’t be “100% sure what kind of handfish this is”. This is as close as we can get without seeing others or collecting a sample of fish.

And the world also celebrated this discovery. “I know this is a Rare and special fish. And the chances of seeing one in this environment and capturing it with a deep draw camera are very rare. It’s an important discovery.”

Before the study, the researchers collected 20 spotted handfish (Brachionichthys hairy) which are in grave danger of extinction, for a captive breeding program. They plan their breeding and that they can release juveniles in about a year.
