Scientists count more than two million eels on one underwater mountain
Original: Scientists count more than 2 million eels on one underwater mountain
Researchers have recorded more than two million eels gathered around a single underwater mountain, one of the largest counts of its kind. The finding suggests seamounts may serve as important gathering points for eels in the deep ocean, and scientists are now weighing what such dense concentrations mean for understanding and protecting these little-studied fish.
Why now: The unusually large count on a single seamount is a striking new finding about deep-ocean life.
