More species than previously believed live in Polar Sea

''The polar oceans are not biological deserts after all. A marine census released Monday documented 7,500 species in the Antarctic and 5,500 in the Arctic, including several hundred that researchers believe could be new to science.

As many as 235 species were found in both polar seas, including five whale species, six sea birds and nearly 100 species of crustaceans.
