In the Izu-Ogasawara Trench, south of Japan, the team managed to film the deepest record of a fish, the unknown snailfish species of the genus Pseudoliparis, at a depth of 8,336m.
A few days later, in the Japan Trench the team collected two fish in traps from 8,022m deep. These snailfish, Pseudoliparis belyaevi, were the first fish to be collected from depths greater than 8,000m and have only ever been seen at a depth of 7,703m in 2008.[3]
Habitat
The species is a marine and bathymersal fish that lives at depths exceeding 6,000m deep.[5] It is also harmless to humans.[1]
