South China Sea Survey Finds Record 28 Tunicate Species
Original: Hidden Swarm: South China Sea Survey Reveals Record 28 Gelatinous Tunicate Species
A survey in the South China Sea has identified a record 28 species of gelatinous tunicates, according to a report from Bioengineer.org. The finding, described as a 'hidden swarm,' highlights how little is known about these translucent filter-feeding animals in the region and suggests the sea's planktonic biodiversity may be far richer than previously recorded.
Why now: The discovery of a record number of gelatinous tunicate species offers new insight into poorly studied marine biodiversity in the South China Sea.
