It is teeming with corals in Greenland

Although Greenland most of the year is covered in snow, and you commonly would not signify its land and water as lively, as researchers have now found out that there are a lot of soft corals on the bondage of the cold sea.

the Discovery will be published by Frontiers in Marine Science.

this is The first time that you have identified a habitat filled with soft corals in the west greenland sea, just as it can have a significant impact on fisheries in the area.

The coral-the garden was found about 500 meters below the sea surface.

Even on the situation so far below the surface is more rough and the pressure is 50 times greater than on earth, so is koralhaven incredibly diverse. There is a wide range of different types of corals that live there.

Among the many corals, which thrive in the complex ecosystem, include: blomkålskoral, søliljer and anemones.

coral gardens is characterized by the fact that there are collections of one or more coral species, such as sitting on a number of different hard or soft bundhabitater - everything from rocks to sand, and supports a diversity of life at the bottom, says professor Chris Yesson of the Zoological Society of London.

the Discoveries on the ocean floor require special equipment. And also to this discovery had deep-sea cameras on remotely operated vehicles be used. But this kind of equipment is very expensive and not always to get fingers in.

Why did the researchers from University College London, Zoological Society of London and the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources their own homemade dybvandsmaskiner.

They made one sled, which with a go pro camera, light and laser in a tryksikkert holster could come down on the bottom of the cold sea.

Greenland's seabed is virtually undetected. Although we know that it is inhabited by more than 2000 different species, which together contribute to the complex habitats for the animals, so it will also contribute to ecosystem functioning, explains professor Martin Blicher from the Greenland Institure of Natural Resources.

- even Though we know so little about the ocean floor, so depends on the greenlandic economy of a small number of fisheries using the trawl on the seabed. We hope that studies like this will increase our understanding of conditions and contribute to sustainable fisheries management, " he concludes.
