| Shining new light on bizarre creatures of the deep DEEP-sea creatures that might look more at home as extras in a Steven Spielberg film have been found off Queensland's coast by scientists using high-tech cameras to glimpse life at a depth of more than 1000 metres. Marine biologist Justin Marshall, from the Queensland Brain Institute, said prehistoric six-gilled sharks, giant oil fish and swarms of crustaceans were among the species captured on film at Osprey Reef, 350 kilometres north-east of Cairns. A team of scientists spent 10 days filming the dark deep last month and the findings could prove useful for researchers working in other scientific fields. |
