This is possibly the depth record for a fish caught on the seafloor. [ 2 ] [ 6 ] Abyssobrotula galatheae has generally been recognized as the record-holder based on one caught at the seafloor at 8,370 m (27,460 ft), but it might have been caught with a non-closing net (a net that is open on the way up and down into the deep) and therefore was ...
Abyssobrotula galatheae is a species of cusk eel in the family Ophidiidae. [1] [3] It is the deepest-living fish known; one specimen, trawled from a depth of 8,370 m (27,460 ft) in the Puerto Rico Trench in 1970, holds the record for the deepest fish ever captured. [4]
In 2008, the hadal snailfish (Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis) [65] was observed and recorded at a depth of 7700 meters in the Japan Trench. In December 2014 a type of snailfish was filmed at a depth of 8145 meters, [66] followed in May 2017 by another sailfish filmed at 8178 meters. [67] These are, to date, the deepest living fish ever recorded.

These were, at the time, the deepest living fish ever recorded on film. [3] The record was surpassed by a type of snailfish filmed at a depth of 8,145 m (26,700 ft) in December 2014, [ 4 ] and extended in May 2017 when another snailfish was filmed at a depth of 8,178 m (26,800 ft). [ 5 ]
Because of the high pressure, the depth to which a diver can descend without special equipment is limited. The deepest recorded descent made by a freediver is 253 m (830 ft) as of 2012. [22] The scuba record is 318 m (1,043 ft) as of June 2005, [23] and 534 metres (1,752 ft) on surface supply on the Comex Hydra 8 experimental dives in 1988. [24]
