The study was conducted in 33 locations from Bukit and Nusa Dua in the south to Gilimanuk and Tulamben on the north began on 29 April 2011.
Senior adviser Mark Erdmann of Conservation International Indonesia said the research team he led was surprised with this discovery because it turns out the island of Bali has a relatively high biodiversity.
"We discovered eight new species of fish previously unknown. There are eels, there are cardinal fish, there is Dotty back, there Gobi," said Erdmann told the BBC Indonesia.
In addition, he continued, the research team also discovered a new species of coral that are determined.
Number of new invention this can also increase because there are still some newly discovered reefs but still needs to be examined further.
When asked if the new fish species endemic to the waters of Bali or may migrate from other waters, Mark Erdmann ensure that the species is typical of Bali.
"We've conducted a survey similar to this in some parts of eastern Indonesia and slightly to the west as well. And indeed this species first appeared and only in Bali," he explained. Grouper and sharks out
"So now we have to assume that this fish is a typical Balinese."
Another positive development is generally found in coral reefs now looks much healthier than the condition 20 years ago.
This recovery, continued Erdmann, occurred because fish bombing is rarely done anymore.
But on the other hand, some fish species that have commercial value crate grouper, napoleon, and the shark was gone. The research team diving for nearly 350 hours but do not often find the fish.
"We have only found three shark tails, three tail rasp napoleon, groupers and two tails. Can you imagine commercial fish caught was absolutely excessive," said Erdmann.
"We have only found three tail shark, napoleon three tail rasp, and two tail grouper" Mark Erdmann
He did not disagree when Bali is relatively polluted waters. Although found in many plastics, flows around the island of Bali is very strong that dirty water that comes out quickly drawn into the waters of Bali, he said.
The survey was conducted by Conservation International Indonesia in collaboration with the University Warmadewa DKP Bali and at the request of the governor of Bali in terms of network implementation plan marine conservation area in Bali.
There are 25 places that have been identified as a potential conservation area.
