"Record-breaking footage captures deepest fish off Japan's seabed"

The deepest living fish ever recorded, a snailfish species of the genus Pseudoliparis, has been caught on camera and collected by researchers at a bone-crushing depth of 27,349 feet (8,336 meters) in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench south of Japan. The discovery breaks the record previously held by snailfish discovered in the Mariana Trench, the planet’s deepest point in the Pacific Ocean. The expedition was part of a decadelong study into the world’s deepest fish populations carried out by the University of Western Australia and the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology.
