By Dr. M, on September 13th, 2011 One comment Biodiversity, Conservation & Environment, Fishing, Industry & Government conservation, deep sea, Pew The deep sea is home to an estimated 10 million species, most of which have yet to be scientifically-documented. While this marine biodiversity rivals the world’s richest tropical rainforests, these fragile deep-sea habitats, which have taken centuries to grow, are being destroyed by trawlers dragging enormous weighted nets that, in a single pass, scrape . . . → Read More: Deep Trouble for the Deep Sea

Osedax species were described less than 10 years ago and much work on their reproduction, evolution and ecology has yielded incredible insights into a unique and bizarre way of life!
