U.S. Scientists Discover New Fish Species
WASHINGTON - U.S. investigators have examined three species of fish called 'Blenny' and say that they find what they're looking at 10 different species.
Scientists from the Smithsonian Institute said that Blenny fish that live in clusters of coral in the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific ocean, very little is known information. Similarly, as quoted from UPI.com, Wednesday (09/02/2011).
Scientists say that the classification of three species of fish previously Blenny opposed to study fish DNA, from larva to adulthood, finally managed to uncover the seven species that have not been classified.
"DNA analysis has offered science a source to answer old questions," says Carole Baldwin, a zoologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
"This discovery is a perfect example of how DNA mapping describes species that we missed before, such as fish Blenny Starksia," added Baldwin.
"We do not know where we stand in a period of time to understand the diversity of species. The result of our work shows that previous studies have not yet complete," closed Baldwin.
