Scientists filmed the fish at a record depth of 8336 meters.

The video was recorded by an autonomous module lowered into the Izu-Ogasawara chute in southern Japan. Scientists believe that the snail fish is at the maximum depth at which any fish can survive. Creatures from the genus Pseudoliparis also live in shallow water, but some of them have adapted to life in extreme conditions in the cold waters of the Arctic and Antarctic or in the deepest trenches in the world. They are helped to survive by the body structure and lack of a swim bladder that many other fish have. They eat the smallest crustaceans, which are abundant even at depth.
