The scientific expedition, carried out from 11 to 25 March 2008, involved a series of exploratory cave dives using closed circuit rebreathers to investigate the
world’s longest undersea lava tube located on Lanzarote,
Canary Islands, Spain.
- To our surprise, we encountered an astoundingly rich subterranean aquatic fauna that included new species of remipede crustaceans and polychaete annelid worms. As a result of our investigations, we here present a comprehensive description of a unique lava tube ecosystem, including new insights in its ecology,
biodiversity, and environmental variables, said Dr. Stefan Könemann from the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Hannover, Germany.
Speleonectes atlantida is a 0.78-inch-long (20-millimeter-long) invertebrate belongs to an unusual group of crustaceans called Remipedia, which scientists first identified in 1979.
