The fish is from an unknown snailfish species of the genus Pseudoliparis. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Swimming at a depth of 8,336m, a juvenile snailfish has been filmed off the south of Japan at the Izu-Ogasawara Trench.

A few days later, the team managed to collect two fish from another species in traps from 8,022m deep. These two specimens are snailfish Pseudoliparis belyaevi, and the capture set the record for the first fish ever to be collected from depths greater than 8,000m, said UWA. Last September, research ship DSSV Pressure Drop embarked on a two-month expedition to the deep trenches around Japan in the north Pacific Ocean.

“In other trenches such as the Mariana Trench, we were finding them at increasingly deeper depths just creeping over that 8,000m mark in fewer and fewer numbers, but around Japan they are really quite abundant,” he added.
