A recent expedition in B.C.’s ocean deep helped scientists discover new ecosystems and potential species that haven’t been seen before.

The team surveyed about 1,750 kilometres of the ocean, exploring all three of B.C.’s deep-sea biodiversity hotspots, seamounts, vents, and seeps. “We’re working with the Royal BC Museum and taxonomists around the world, even as far as the Smithsonian, to try and identify these animals that we have collected that are very likely some of them new to science,” Du Preez told CHEK News.

Du Preez said the octopus has been sitting on her eggs for 4.5 years, which is a record-breaking gestation period for any animal.CHEK Newsletter
