MELBOURNE [url=http://www.cheapestairmaxwholesale.com/]http://www.cheapestairmaxwholesale.com/[/url] , May 31 (Xinhua) -- Australian researchers on a world-first expedition have discovered dozens of new species of deep-sea creatures.
The exploration of a deep-sea abyss off the coast of Tasmania, supported by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), has resulted in discoveries ranging from curious to bizarre, researchers said.
Scientists are using small nets and underwater cameras to get the first good look at marine life in the abyss which is more than 4,000 meters deep.
"We've seen some awesome stuff," Di Bray, a researcher from Museums Victoria, told Australian media on Wednesday.
"On the video camera, we saw a kind of chimaera that whizzed by - that's very, very rare in Australian waters.
"We've seen a fish with photosensitive plates that sit on the top of its head, tripod fish that sit up on their fins and face into the current."
Bray said a "faceless fish," of which no record exists since a similar creature was reportedly caught in 1870, was the most exciting find so far.
"That's kind of the highlight so far for us," Bray said.
"It's this fish with nostrils and a mouth and no face.
"Apparently, it's got eyes way under the surface but really you can't see any eyes."
"We're collecting things we don't know from Australian waters," she said.
Tim O'Hara, the chief scientist on the expedition, said it was the first time the eastern abyss had been surveyed with data collected to be used to chart climate change going forwards.
"Down there it's crushing pressures ... there's no light and it's really cold, we're recording temperatures of about one degree Celsius," O'Hara said.
"We know nothing about the abyss, and we need to know.
"We're custodians of that piece of the Earth - lots of things could happen to the deep sea with climate change."

HELSINKI, May 25 (Xinhua) -- Former Finnish President Mauno Koivisto was buried with military honors in Helsinki on Thursday.
With some one hundred thousand people along the streets watching the hearse procession, the downtown core of Helsinki was heavy with Finnish national symbolism, in sound and vision.
The procession made short stops outside the Bank of Finland and the Presidential Palace. Koivisto was the Governor of the Bank of Finland until he was formally elected to be the Finnish president in 1982.
In his eulogy, the incumbent president Sauli Niinisto underlined continuity in the Finnish post-war foreign policy. Niinisto said that at the end of the Koivisto presidency, Finland was definitely part of Western Europe but maintained at the same time "balanced and equal" relations with the East. That was a good basis to continue to work on, Niinisto said.
Niinisto also mentioned that Koivisto aimed at reducing presidential powers in Finland after the experiences of the long tenure of Koivisto's predecessor Urho Kekkonen.
Niinisto quoted Koivisto as saying that it is better that "the power pyramid stands on its base and not on its top". "Better that major decisions have to be taken by several persons, not just one", Niinisto quoted.
Koivisto came from a humble background, started higher education as an adult after years as a dock worker, gained doctorate and ultimately became president. Niinisto commented that Koivisto knew the nation in all its working roles.

BRASILIA， Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- As next week's impeachment trial for Brazil's suspended president Dilma Rousseff nears， political observers are looking beyond to what they see as a new chapter of opportunities.
The problem， as many see it， is that Rousseff's undecided state and her replacement's temporary status is holding the country back.
At the trial， Brazil's Senate is widely expected to impeach Rousseff， of the left-leaning Workers' Party (PT)， and fully instate now interim president Michel Temer， of the pro-business Brazilian Democratic Movement (PMDB).
David Fleischer， professor of Political Science at the University of Brasilia (UnB)， said the trial's end will finally allow Temer to take up the reins and carry out tough economic reforms to jump start the sluggish economy.
"This political party (PMDB) should serve to impose austerity measures，" said Fleischer， though he added it won't be easy.
"It's complicated， because the deputies (in Congress) aren't willing to limit spending， and that's the nature of politicians. But he (Temer) is presenting it as quite serious， because if you want to attract the private sector to invest again and to believe in the government， you have to take pretty tough measures，" Fleischer told Xinhua.
The first task the government must tackle is to control ballooning social security spending， he said.
"The social security deficit is growing like a tsunami (and) that could
