Une nouvelle espèce dans les eaux froides et profondes de l’Océan austral : le poisson-limace à mâchoire oblique

Tous les ans, des milliers de nouvelles espèces sont découvertes, et pourtant aucun média n’en parle. Car pour des gens non initiés, la différence n’est pas toujours visible: une mouche est une mouche, un poisson est un poisson… Mais il y a la petite différence qui indique que c’est quelque chose de nouveau. Chaque découverte a son histoire. Certaines sont plus originales les unes que les autres, bien que l’intérêt médiatique soit quasi-nul.

A new species from cold and deep waters of Austral Ocean: the oblique mouth snail fish

Every year, thousands of new species are discovered and described, though media very rarely talks about them. Because for non-specialists, differences between species are not always obvious: a fly is a fly, a fish is a fish… But there is the small difference which shows it is something new. Each discovery has its own story. Some of them are more original than others, in spite of quasi null media interest.

This article presents how a species of « snailfish » was discovered off the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands: the oblique mouth snail fish or Paraliparis obliquosus.
