One of the reasons why we collect specimens, in particular biological specimens,
is that we'll be able to do genetic analysis on them,
in order for detailed morphological analysis that will help us distinguish
and establish whether this might be a new species that hasn't been previously described,
as well as put them in evolutionary context,
as well as how they have evolved through interactions with the environment,
and changes in the environment.
It gives us a much better perspective of the whole evolution of life in the ocean.
