What
you can think
1. to
conduct research in unexplored
places
to
discover unusual
organisms and
to
confirm that
they
are new
species.
In
addition
2.
new species are discovered by examining academic
specimens that have already been collected and deposited
in
research facilities such as museums. As a result of comparing
the described species with the characteristics of the specimens,
if
it is confirmed that the specimens are inconsistent with diagnoses of described species, it
is determined that they belong to an undescribed
species (= new species after described).
Scientific
identification
of
fishes,
revision of diagnoses of fish species,
and description of a new species, all of which are
interesting to fish taxonomy.
Researchers in Hokkaido University have discovered new fish species by the two approaches mentioned above.
