Chinese research team names new mudskipper species 'Jennie' and publishes in academic journal

A new fish species named after BLACKPINK's Jennie has been officially registered in the scientific community. The Chinese research team named the newly discovered new species of mudskipper after Jennie.

Jiangyan Tian, a graduate student at Sun Yat-sen University, collected 31 specimens while conducting field research at the mangrove wetlands of Hengchindao in Guangdong Province, China, and discovered a new species of bumblebee goby. The research team named the species 'Brachygobius jennie' and the common name is 'Jennie's bumblebee goby.'

Tian stated, "During the research, I was constantly inspired by listening to Jennie's song 'Ruby Jane.' Naming this species after her is a gesture of gratitude for the positive influence she had on me." The study was officially published in the international academic journal 'Zoosystematics and Evolution.'

This fish was confirmed to be less than 9mm in body length, making it the smallest species within the same genus. It is likely to be recorded as the smallest fish discovered in China and one of the smallest fish species in the world. A unique pattern of four narrow stripes on the back of the head distinguishes it from other mudskipper species. This discovery also marks the first time a bumblebee goby genus has been identified in China.

When the news spread, fans cheered. @Imyohnavibes cheered, "Everyone may have their own opinions, but if her influence extends beyond music, fashion, and brands to science, that influence cannot be denied. The fact that a new species was named after her is just one of many such cases." @alittlevip said, "A small bumblebee goby named after Jennie? She who once lit up the stage is now inspiring Chinese mangrove researchers. Her influence truly reaches even the tiniest realms." @ayvhaaan_ responded briefly and powerfully, "She has now become part of the sea."
