RE: Rabbitfishes (Siganus sp.) is the first fish species that have shown to have pairs that cooperate and support each other during foraging, a trait believed to be impossible for fish to have

I always advocate that there is so much little we know of our planet and the species that live here....
Marine life is far more under-discovered and under-rated....
Our technological acumen and capabilities are way under-developed when it comes to oceans....
There are so many dark corners and depths that are still to be discovered and explored..

Sort:  

Yeah, we probably know more about what things at like at the surface of the moon or Mars, than we know of what it's like on the bottom of the ocean!

Just imagine all the things we would learn about if we spent 1/10th of the money we do on space technology on marine discovery.

Yeah nice proposition. ....But marine exploration is quite a tedious task requiring a lot of technological impetus and financial input...
Even we haven't fully explored the outer layer of earth's crust (lithosphere)...

Yeah, that's a good point. But it will be interesting to see if humans will explore more of the ocean in the coming decades, and I think we will find lots of cool discoveries in the ocean :)
