A glimpse into life in the deep sea. 🐙 These four species, discovered by our RV Investigator, represent just the tiniest tip of the iceberg when it comes to undiscovered marine life. In fact, it's estimated that up to 95 per cent of Australia's marine species are yet to be recorded, excluding microscopic plant and animal life. Our research vessel, RV Investigator, is helping a collaborative teams of scientists – on ship and on shore – to build our deep-sea knowledge one voyage at a time.
