From the deepest, darkest part of the ocean appeared a new predator

The attacking trench on the shores of Peru and Chile is one of the deepest regions of the ocean on our planet, and scientists believe it can be an ecological shelter.
The new study describes a four -centimeter crustacean predator that survives at a depth of about 8,000 meters – it is known as the Hadal area.
Genome research has confirmed that this is not just a new species – it is also a new tribe that further confirms that in this charming part of the undeveloped ocean, other forms of life may hide.

2024. October 14th. NASA’s Europa Clipper started from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the fourth largest Jupiter Moon. Her mission is to appreciate the moon’s potential to keep life in a huge ocean under the icy crust. Although Europe Clipper is the most important ability of humanity to explore the oceans of other worlds, the Oceans of the Earth still have many secrets, but have not resolved science.

After leaving the ground, the Woods Hole Institute of Oceanography (WHOI) and Universidad de Concepcón discovered a new life in Chile – an earlier, active predator in one of the deepest trenches in the world. Four specimens were collected nearly 8,000 meters below sea level (which is almost as deep as Everest Mountain), and scientists called the “Dulcibella Camanchaca” crustacean – a reference to the word “dark” in the Andes region.

Although his white hairdresser gives her a ghostly, almost face player-Alien Feel the name fit if you think this predator is going through your life of 7000 meters below AFOTS, where absolute darkness reigns. Researchers described this new species at the end of last month in magazine System and biodiversity;

Atacama trench, also known as Peru-Chiles Trenches, continues about 3,700 miles (6000 kilometers) along the coast. But on the northern shores of Chile feet (8000 m) under the surface –Well In the deepest part of the ocean, called the Hadal area.

Scientists have long been interested in this area and the discoveries did not disappoint. 2023 The Institute Milenio de Oceanographía (TJO), located on the Universidad de Concepcón Chile, married a deep ocean survey on board on board. Investigation ship abate molinaoriginally donated to Chile the Japanese government in the early 1980s. After the samples were recovered, they were frozen for preservation and later a genome analysis was performed.

“The most interesting data of DNA and morphology pointed out that this species is also a new tribe, emphasizing the attacking trench as an endemic public internet access point,” said Johanna Weston, the main study author and Hadal zone from WHOI, expert from the Hadal zone, said in a press release;

True because of him Stranger-Stri’s appearance, D. Comrillian Has a spinal way to swallow your prey-by shooting its improved additives to make them fundamentally compressed on other, smaller crustaceans. (Remind you of someone?) Due to its deep ocean environment, this powerful crustacean, which is only about four centimeters long, can also withstand pressure up to 800 times stronger than on land.

“This conclusion emphasizes the importance of constant deep exploration of the ocean, especially in the front yard of Chile,” TJO spokesman Carolina González said in a press release. “More discoveries are expected when we continue to investigate the Atacama trench.”

If someone in such a small can be stubborn in conditions like the Hadal area, perhaps the Europa Clipper has a non -zero shot to find conditions that can support life in the huge ocean of another world.
