"Record-breaking discovery: World's deepest-swimming fish caught on camera"

Scientists have captured images of the deepest-swimming fish ever caught on camera, a previously unknown snailfish species of the genus Pseudoliparis, swimming in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench off the coast of Japan at a depth of 8,336 meters. The fish was recorded during an August 2022 mission to several trenches around Japan, part of a decade-long study of the world's deepest fish populations. The previous record for the deepest fish was a Mariana snailfish observed at 26,831 feet in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific on May 18, 2017.
