Excellent point. They should give sizeslisab said:Great pix, I especially like the orange sea star.
But I wonder what the scale is. I can't tell if they're as small as my thumbnail, or as big as a bus.
An odd explosion of wormlike creatures on the ocean floor off the coast of Ireland in the late 1990s had scientists puzzled over the cause. Now research suggests it can be explained by a shift in the food trickling down to the seafloor.

A marine species is any type of living organism that lives in the ocean. This can include fish, mammals, plants, and other organisms.
Scientists typically discover new marine species through various methods such as conducting surveys, DNA analysis, and observing the behavior and physical characteristics of organisms in their natural habitats.
Discovering new marine species helps scientists gain a better understanding of the diversity and complexity of ocean ecosystems. This information can then be used to inform conservation efforts and protect these species from extinction.
One of the biggest challenges is the vastness and depth of the ocean, making it difficult to access and study certain areas. Additionally, identifying and classifying new species can be a time-consuming and complex process.
The discovery of new marine species can provide valuable insights into the evolution, adaptation, and behavior of these organisms. It can also help us understand the impact of environmental changes on these species and their habitats.
