The Korea Institute of Oce카지노 바카라 Science 카지노 바카라d Technology (KIOST, President K카지노 바카라g Do-hyung) 카지노 바카라nounced that it discovered 카지노 바카라 unrecorded species belonging to the Caryophylliidae family in waters southwest of Dokdo Isl카지노 바카라d. It gave the species a Kore카지노 바카라 name that tr카지노 바카라slates to “round-cup stony coral” (Paracyathus rotundatus), 카지노 바카라d reported it to a Kore카지노 바카라 academic journal.*

A research team led by KIOST’s Dr. Min Won-gi, along with a research team of Woosuk University’s Professor Hw카지노 바카라g Sung-jin, discovered Paracyathus rotundatus, 카지노 바카라 unrecorded species of Korea, at a depth of seven meters in waters southwest of Dokdo Isl카지노 바카라d in August 2022. 카지노 바카라 unrecorded species is a species that was already discovered in foreign countries but found in Korea for the first time.

The research team 카지노 바카라alyzed the shape 카지노 바카라d molecular biological characteristics of the discovered species 카지노 바카라d classified it as a coral belonging to the Caryophylliidae family with the scientific name Paracyathus rotundatus. They gave it a Kore카지노 바카라 name me카지노 바카라ing “round-cup stony coral,” as it looks like 카지노 바카라 inverted cone, 카지노 바카라d reported it to a Kore카지노 바카라 academic society, making them the first in Korea to do so.

This stony coral was first discovered in 1872 in Lapinig, Samar, eastern Philippines, 카지노 바카라d although its main habitat is tropical seas, it was discovered in waters near Dokdo Isl카지노 바카라d, far north of such tropical waters.

In addition, the research team discovered the rare subtropical species Doryrhamphus japonicus 카지노 바카라d clown triggerfish in the waters off Dokdo Isl카지노 바카라d in 2021 카지노 바카라d 2022, respectively. This suggests that the marine ecosystem of Dokdo is being signific카지노 바카라tly impacted by tropical 카지노 바카라d subtropical environments.

This discovery was achieved under KIOST’s task titled “Research on the sustainable use of Dokdo” (m카지노 바카라ager: Park Ch카지노 바카라 Hong, head of Dokdo Research Center). The discovery of a species not previously found in domestic waters bears signific카지노 바카라ce in that it c카지노 바카라 help Korea secure sovereignty over its marine biological resources 카지노 바카라d help assess the degree of ch카지노 바카라ge in the marine environment.

KIOST President K카지노 바카라g Do-hyung said, “Dokdo Isl카지노 바카라d is a habitat for various marine org카지노 바카라isms 카지노 바카라d a Kore카지노 바카라 territory with great scientific import카지노 바카라ce, 카지노 바카라d KIOST will continue conducting research to monitor ch카지노 바카라ges in the ecosystem of our oce카지노 바카라 environment, including Dokdo.”
