Dr. Alan Jamieson - of the University of Aberdeen (UK), who led the study, said his group also took pictures of a group of eels at a depth of 6,000 meters, something they have never seen before, and this is very can be a new species of eel. There are also many crustaceans and scavengers.
Jamieson's group is still opening ocean-floor expeditions on a global scale in a three-year project.
