New fish species found off Taitung

CNA

Four new fish species were discovered in deep-sea waters near Green Island, a senior researcher with Academia Sinica said.

Shao Kuang-chao (邵廣昭), the acting director of Academia Sinica's Biological Diversity Study Center, said that three deep-divers from Hawaii dived to a depth of 80m to 90m off Green Island on Monday and Tuesday to survey fish resources in the region.
 

The project marked the first time Taiwan and the US have cooperated in exploring fishery resources in coral reefs in the area, Shao said.

Shao added that Academia Sinica helped finance the project.

"According to our initial judgment, the US divers have collected samples of four new fish species in coral reefs off Green Island," Shao said.

He said that the team has also recorded seven or eight fish species that had previously never been collated.

The species include chromis delta and plectranthias winniensis.
