Scientists exploring the ocean floor in Antarctica(南极洲) have found a larger group of fish nests(鱼巢)    1     ever before. The discovery came as a surprise, and it will help scientists develop a more complete idea of the ocean food web in the area.

In the south Weddell Sea, not far from Antarctica’s Filchner Ice Shelf, scientists were    2    (amaze) to discover a group of about 60 million icefish nests on the ocean floor. Before this, the    3    (large) group of icefish nests that had ever been found includes less than 60 nests. Lilian Boehringer, a research student, was the first    4    (discover) the nests. “They were everywhere,” she told The New York Times.

The researchers used a special device called OFOBS to make two more four-hour “lives”,    5     (try) to discover the limits of the nesting area. The nests scientists found were in the shape of    6    circle. Each nest held about 1,700 eggs. Usually, Weddell seals(海豹)    7     (spot) in the waters above the nesting site. Trackers    8    (fix) on some Weddell seals show that they dive all the way to the sea floor.

The team placed a camera on the sea floor before leaving,     9     will take a picture of the nests in the area    10    (two) a day for the next two years. They hope the pictures from this camera will help them learn more about the lives of the icefish.
