Summary

Patience Seamount is an underwater mountain in Australia's Huon Marine Park off the coast of Tasmania. Every year, it is the site of an enormous gathering of basketwork eels (Diastobranchus capensis) for reasons unknown, although most likely to spawn. The numbers are huge, but they have never been quantified. Now a team led by marine scientist Ben Scoulding of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has estimated how many are down there.
