Overseas Network, July 31. According to Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" and Fuji TV on the 30th, Japanese researchers said that they took a 2.5 -meter -long Henggang sardine -paddy underwater under the water bay in Shizuoka Prefecture This has become the largest deep -sea hard bone fish known in the world.

The Japanese Marine Research and Development Agency (Jamstec) placed the camera at the water depth of Junhe Bay 2091 meters. In October 2021, this precious image was shot, and this deep -sea fish was listed as a new species in the same year. Related research results were published on July 1 in the "Marine Science Frontier" magazine. The scientist of the agency also captured 6 kinds of fish, the largest of which was 1.4 meters long.

Scientists believe that this kind of fish has only been found in Junhe Bay so far, which is a "top predator" and is usually at the top of the food chain. Scientists say that top predators are generally the most affected by the environment and may disrupt the local food chain and cause destructive damage to the entire ecosystem. In addition, there may be other giant unknown deep -sea fish variants inhabited, and scientists are studying this. (Overseas Wang Shanning)
