Thousands of salmon, tuna and other fish with electronic tags are revealing mysterious Pacific Ocean migration highways that may give clues about how to rebuild dwindling stocks, scientists said on Wednesday.
Marine experts also found 78 new species of fish in 2005 along with scores of other creatures ranging from a 3-metre rocket-shaped jellyfish in the Arctic to a tiny carnivorous sponge in the South Atlantic.
"Fish with chips", hi-tech implants that enable either satellite or seabed tracking, were one of the breakthroughs to uncover ocean migration paths, scientists in the 73-nation Census of Marine Life (COML) said.
