Hi, Frank Indiviglio here. I’m a zoologist and book author, recently retired from a career spent at several zoos, aquarium, and museums, including over 20 years with the Bronx Zoo.
Even considering that new fishes are discovered at the rate of nearly two per week, 2013 was a spectacular year for fish enthusiasts. Included among the undescribed new fish species brought to light in 2013 were several relatives of common marine and freshwater aquarium fishes, numerous sharks (including a large hammerhead off South Carolina), a knife fish that utilizes a different type of electric current than all others, a bizarre beast from the depths of the Antarctic’s Ross Sea, one of the world’s smallest vertebrates, and one of the world’s largest freshwater fishes. The diversity of these new species is staggering, and all seem to have amazing traits, so I was hard-put to select my favorites. Please be sure to share information about those that caught your eye by posting below. Read the rest of this article here http://bit.ly/1eFY1GW
