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.
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.

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 ...
In December 2014, a new species of snailfish was discovered at a depth of 8,145 m (26,722 ft; 4,454 fathoms), breaking the previous record for the deepest living fish seen on video. [45] During the 2014 expedition, several new species were filmed, including huge amphipods known as supergiants.
A mysterious "monster" fish with teeth washed up on shores of a California park in a "very rare" sighting on Friday, 13 October. Crystal Cove State Park posted images of the specimen on their ...
The species has a slender and elongated body with a tadpole-shape, typical of snailfish species. The body lacks scales and instead has smooth, gelatinous skin that aids in withstanding the immense pressure of the deep-sea environment. The gelatinous layer has a lower ion concentration than other body fluids to increase buoyancy. [12] In the ...
