("I discovered a new fish: the giant-bodied stripeless sole")
[apologies for the English name, it doesn't seem to have one yet,
maybe the Taipei Times will have one for us tomorrow]
has a story about taiwanese ph.d. student Li Mao-ying who has discovered a new species of fish:

apparently it had been found before, but not distinguished from its smaller, stripy relative
it's a flatfish, a member of the sole family, and lives in chilly waters around 450-700m down
