Researchers newly identified a “supergiant” sea bug species off the coast of south-central Vietnam, but scientists worry about its vulnerability to overfishing.

Giant ocean-dwelling isopods are on the menu in Vietnam. Scientists discovered a new species among specimens captured for the food market, and it's a doozy.

Experts decided to name the species Bathynomus vaderi not only because its face looks like Darth Vader's helmet, but also because the creature is thought to live around 1000 metres underwater, where it is extremely dark.
