Detecting a monstrous non-surface creature in the deep sea

Australian scientists have discovered a strange creature in an area that has never been discovered.

Scientists on the ship CSIRO's Investigator are exploring the Commonwealth marine reserve from northern Tasmania to between Queensland, Australia.

Strange creatures have just been discovered in Australia.

They dropped nets and cameras down an abyss to the east of the reserve, up to 4 kilometers deep, in the past two weeks and discovered strange things.

Scientist Di Bray from Victoria Museum said: "We have seen some wonderful things."

"Through the camera, we see a very, very rare chimaera fish in Australian waters and many other exotic fish."

The fish "does not face" but has a nose and mouth.

But over the weekend at Jervis Bay, at a depth of 400 meters, scientists encountered an unusual "faceless fish" .

Bray said: 'This fish has nostrils, mouths but is not present. Obviously, it has eyes at the bottom but it is not easy to see them. "

Earlier, this strange fish was discovered in the Coral Sea in the 1870s by scientists.

This is the first time the reserve's eastern abyss have been explored, providing an opportunity for scientists to collect baseline data on biodiversity.

"It is an extraordinary life," said Dr. Tim O'Hara. "Large pressure, no light and really cold, we recorded temperatures of only about 1 degree Celsius."
