A fish with a sad face is discovered in the Indian Ocean

The sad-faced fish discovered in the Indian Ocean

Australian scientists have discovered a new species of fish with frozen faces, reports Daily Mail.

Researchers say the two new species of fish were discovered with a $100 device that was sent to a depth of 6.5 kilometers in the Indian Ocean.

The team from the University of Minderoo in Western Australia is exploring the depths of the Indian Ocean.

Alan Jamieson told "The Sydney Morning Herald" that the fish began to melt a few minutes after it was pulled from a depth of 6500 meters.

"While the fish are in the trap they start to 'ripe' as they have never been in temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius in the last 10 million years. Upon reaching the deck of the ship there is a maximum of 20 minutes to survive. Dissolve before your eyes," said Jamieson.

Advanced technologies have made it possible to discover species that live in the great depths of the oceans.

In September 2018, scientists discovered a new species of fish living nearly 8000 meters under the Pacific Ocean, near Peru.
