Say hello to Earth's deepest-dwelling fish — captured on camera over 5 miles (8km) below the sea!
This tiny juvenile fish was spotted during a 2022 expedition aboard the research vessel Pressure Drop, part of a decade-long study investigating marine life in the planet’s most extreme underwater environments. The find surpasses the previous depth record held by a Mariana snailfish captured at 26,830 feet in 2017.
Researchers also collected two additional Pseudoliparis belyaevi specimens in the nearby Japan Trench, making them the first fish ever retrieved from below 26,000 feet. Marine biologist Alan Jamieson, who led both the current and prior record-setting expeditions, noted that these Japanese trenches are surprisingly rich in life, even at crushing depths. The abundance of young snailfish at such depths challenges earlier assumptions about the biological limits of ocean life, suggesting that extreme-pressure environments may be more habitable than once believed.
