Ashinkailepas kermadecensis is a species of deep-sea stalked barnacle in the family Neolepadidae, discovered at a cold-water seep near the Kermadec Ridge, northeast of New Zealand's North Island, at depths of approximately 1,165 meters. This species is adapted to extreme deep-sea environments, relying on the unique chemical conditions of cold seeps for survival. Its discovery highlights the biodiversity of deep-sea ecosystems and provides valuable insights into the adaptations of organisms to these harsh habitats.
