One of the rarest and least known species of the deep ocean, was recorded for the first time in the Argentine Sea during a scientific expedition led by Argentine researchers.
The sighting occurred at 253 meters deep, on the Argentine continental slope, a key area for the study of marine biodiversity. The images were captured using high-tech underwater exploration equipment, capable of operating in extreme conditions of pressure and total darkness.
According to scientists in an official statement, the observed specimen would have an approximate length of 11 meters, making it one of the largest jellyfish ever documented in this region. Its ethereal and almost transparent appearance earned it the name "ghost jellyfish", as it is rarely seen and very little is known about its behavior and life cycle.
This discovery reinforces the importance of continuing to explore the depths of the ocean, a largely unknown territory. Additionally, it provides key information about the biodiversity of the deep ocean and the role of the Argentine Sea as an ecosystem of unique and surprising species.
