Australian researchers have allegedly discovered several pre -specified species on the Antarctic Ceeplore, including palm -shaped spider such as organisms and an eye, gelatinus animal, known as “sea pig”. Species like spider are more closely called crabs than spiders, long legs and compact bodies. Researchers said that the presence of these animals may vary when removed from their natural environment. For example, the sea pig is reportedly more uniform and structured, while brought to the surface.

According to an ABC news ReportScientists also faced marine stars, which reached 20 inches with leg -span with almost a dinner plate and size of marine spiders. Sea spiders characterized by long, thin legs and short bodies were collected using a specially designed “weight well”-a sea water-filled tank on the ancestral vessel that helps preserve delicate samples. In one of the aquariums of the ship, a sea butterfly laid eggs, giving researchers a rare opportunity to inspect its reproductive process. The team continues to study the behavior and development of these species under controlled conditions.
Scientists aboard at the Australian Icebreaker RSV Nuyina have collected a series of marine species during a 60 -day campaign of Danman Glacier in East Antarctica. The team is surveying the sea level at a depth between 3,300 and 19,500 feet to study organisms suited to extreme conditions.
Searching in the discoveries has dinner plates size, sea spiders with legs are spread up to 20 inches, and sea boar – sea cucumber -related gelatinus animals that feed on organic debris, known as “sea ice”. A sea butterfly, a small sea mollusk is similar to a flying snail, laying eggs in an aquarium on a ship, allowing researchers to observe its early growth.
Sea spiders and flying snails found in Antarctic depth
Sea spiders, which are arthropods related to crabs, live in a wide range of marine environment, including 13,000 feet deep ocean habitats below the surface. More than 1,300 species are known, with some internal organs that extend into their legs.
The delicate samples were collected using a “weight well” tank-a sea water system on a vessel designed to preserve deep sea organisms during transportation and observation.
