At the bottom of the ocean: catching snailfish at never-before-reached depths

A team of scientists filmed a snail fish of the genus Pseudoliparis swimming at extraordinary depths in the ocean, making it the deepest recording ever made, according to a report from BBC news.

The animal swam at an altitude of 8336 meters in the Izu-Ogasawara trough, south of Japanwhen it was filmed by a camera system attached to a weighted frame launched from the side of the ship, the DSSV Pressure Drop.

Discovery breaks depth record since previous observation fish The deepest is 8,178 meters, to the south in the Pacific Ocean, in the Mariana Trench.

“If this record is broken, it will probably be by only a few meters,” he said. BBC news University of Western Australia professor Alan Jamison, who led the dive.

Snail fish?

There are over 300 types snail fishmost of which are actually shallow water creatures and can be found in estuaries.

Group fish the snail has adapted to life in the cold waters of the Arctic and Antarctic, as well as the extreme pressure conditions that exist in the world’s deepest trenches.

Their gelatinous bodies help them survive in high pressure environments. Lacking the gas-filled buoyancy control organ swim bladder that many others have fishis an added benefit.

In addition, these fish They feed by suction and eat small crustaceans.
