The species - a type of snailfish of the genus Pseudoliparis - was filmed swimming at 8,336mm, which the lead scientist said could be at the maximum depth any fish can survive. Scientists make history filming deep-sea snailfish:
"If this record is broken, it would only be by minute increments, potentially by just a few metres," Prof Alan Jamieson told BBC News.
Although a specimen was not caught to fully identify its species type, several fish were trapped slightly higher up in the water column in the nearby Japan Trench at a depth of 8,022m.Deepest ever catch: Some snailfish were pulled up from 8,022m But the snailfish group have also adapted to life in the cold waters of the Arctic and Antarctic, and also under the extreme pressure conditions that exist in the world's deepest trenches.
