The discovery was made by researchers from the Chilean Institute of Oceanography (IMO) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) during the 2023 IDOOS expedition. The team collected four samples.
Despite its small size, Dulcibella camanchaca is an active hunter, adapted to survive in overwhelming pressure and total darkness. This species is not only new, but also represents a previously unknown genus.
Researchers emphasize that such findings help understand how deep-sea creatures adapt to harsh conditions.
