Scientists believe that for every marine animal they know about four more species remain undiscovered. For some groups, such as fish, scientists think they have found and named 70 percent of species. However, for life forms such as singled-celled micro-organisms and worms only about a third have been identified.
Census of Marine Life
These are some of the conclusions that have come out of the first ever Census of Marine Life (CoML). According to a CoML press release (August 2, 2010) “Scientists combined information collected over centuries with data obtained during the decade-long Census to create a roll call of species in 25 biologically representative regions - from the Antarctic through temperate and tropical seas to the Arctic.”
Vast Diversity of Ocean Life
During the ten years of the project more than 5,600 new life forms were added to the list and the complete count of species found tops 230,000.
