At Cryptomundo, Loren Coleman posts about a "re-discovery" of a species of the venemous waspfish. According to an article in the The Herald, the fish was caught in 1994 off the northern KawaZulu Natal coast of South Africa. It was stored in the collection of the SA Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity and recently identified by a visiting scientist. From the Cryptomundo post:
One of my regular coelacanth correspondents, institute curator emeritus, Dr. Phil Heemstra, is quoted by the media as noting: "The discovery also signalled again how little we knew about the creatures of the deep sea…"
As Charles Fort once wrote: "The sea is the best field for data."
