New Fish

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/10/101015191723.htm

Scientist searching through the deepest ocean trenches around the world have found some new specias of fish.  What is amazing to me is the fact that we're so technologically advanced yet we still dont even know 100% what exist on our earth.  It leads me to wonder why we're so busy to search space when we could be learning how to better our earth.

What is amazing to me as well is the fact that images were able to be taken at depths of 7000m.  I know that scuba divers can only go to a depth of around 40m safely but 7000m is unreal.  What amazes me further is how creatures are able to survive as such low depth.  It goes to show that human understanding still cannot figure out the many secrests this earth holds.

What was interesting was that not only were these species of fish found in the deep sea off of Peru-Chile but also throughout other areas of the Pacific.  It goes to show that no matter where you go and whats around there is always some type of living organism around. 

What could probably be expanded next is likely the correlation between earth's global warming and deep sea life.  I wonder what effects if any happen to ocean life as such low depths of that amount.  I would imagine that it is likely it isn't affected but it would be interesting to read if there is any relation. 

Its funny how the article states that scientist not have to re-asses the situation of deep ocean life.  I agree with the statement made on how deep fish can live long being that they're as such low depths of the earth.  Its amazing that throughout different deep trenches around the earth scientist still find new ocean life. It leaves me wondering what other life there is not only on our earth but also out in space.  But I would say that we must learn all we can about our own earth before we should go out exploring other avenues.
