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]
It is apparently the top predator along certain stretches of the Mariana Trench, feeding on tiny crustaceans in a deep-water habitat with few larger predators. [4] Pseudoliparis swirei are abundant in their deep-sea habitat and lay relatively large eggs that are almost 1 cm (0.4 in) in diameter.

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 ...
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.

The record was surpassed by snailfish filmed in the Mariana Trench at depths of 8,145 m (26,722 ft) in 2014 [19] and 8,178 m (26,831 ft) in 2017, [14] [20] and at 8,336 m (27,349 ft) in the Izu–Ogasawara Trench in 2023. [21] The species in these deepest records are unknown and may be undescribed, but have been referred to as "ethereal snailfish".
