According to Singaporean media, the team collected about 30,000 aquatic samples from habitats in mudflats, seabeds and reefs in Singapore waters.
Besides the discovery of new aquatic species, scientists also reported that about 10 species that have never been seen in the waters of this country for a long time have been rediscovered.
As planned, the second biological diversity survey in Singapore was also started on May 21 and lasted for three weeks.
Scientists will explore the habitat in coastal reefs and seabeds to deep waters in the Singapore Strait and southern islands.
Earlier, the first exploration phase was conducted in October 2012 in the Johor Strait.
