New species emerges from the deep waters of the Arabian Sea!

Scientists at ICAR–Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (ICAR-CMFRI), Kochi have described a new species of conger eel, Ariosoma cmfriense, named after the Institute to mark its 80th anniversary year.

The specimen was collected from waters off Kollam at about 300 metres depth.
Identified as a distinct species through morphological characteristics and molecular evidence, the discovery adds to the documented diversity of Ariosoma species in Indian waters.

The holotype has been deposited in the ICAR-CMFRI Marine Biodiversity Museum, strengthening India’s repository of documented marine biodiversity. The scientific paper has now been published in Zootaxa.
