There are over 300 species of Snailfish. While many live in shallow waters (tidepools) and river estuaries, some have adapted to the cold water, as well as the high-pressure depths of the world's deepest trenches over 7,000m. [8] In general, the snailfish (notably genus Pseudoliparis) is the most common and dominant family in the hadal zone. [4]
Only one other species of fish has been recorded from depths in excess of 8,000 m (26,000 ft), the so-called ethereal snailfish (living in the same region as Pseudoliparis swirei but somewhat deeper), but it has only been seen on film and remain undescribed. [6]

The world's deepest fish ever filmed has been caught on camera by scientists from The University of Western Australia (UWA) and Japan at a depth of more than eight kilometres underwater. An ...
Very few people make it to the deepest depths of the oceans, which is why new discoveries are constantly made about the exotic creatures that dwell in the deep blue sea. Although these next five ...
Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis, or the hadal snailfish, is a species of snailfish from the hadal zone of the Northwest Pacific Ocean, [1] including the Kuril–Kamchatka and Japan Trenches. [ 2 ] In October 2008, a team from British and Japanese institutes discovered a shoal of Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis at a depth of about 7,700 m (25,300 ft ...
Pseudoliparis are native to the hadal zone of the ocean. They have been observed swimming at extreme depths of 8,336 metres (27,349 ft; 5.180 mi), in very deep ocean trenches of the Pacific Ocean, [ 4 ] [ 5 ] including the Izu-Ogasawara Trench and the Mariana Trench .
Species of deep-sea snailfish have been studied and compared to other ray-finned fishes (also known as teleosts) to analyze their adaptions to deep-sea conditions. The genomes of both the Yap hadal snailfish and Mariana hadal snailfish have been found to contain an abundance of the fmo3 gene, which produces the trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) protein stabilizer.
