In total, there were up to 23 mature eggs for each female (each larger than 5 mm or 0.20 in in diameter), which were alternated with immature, small eggs, the number of which was about 850. Eggs of intermediate size were rarely seen. Even in the largest eggs, no structures were found that indicate the development of the embryo within the eggs. [1]
Pseudoliparis belyaevi has been found in the NW Pacific Ocean in the Izu-Ogasawara and Japan Trench. [3] They were caught as deep as 7579m in the Japan Trench. [4] This possibly breaks the depth record for a fish collected from the seafloor, previously held by Pseudoliparis swirei at a depth of 7,966 m (26,135 ft). [5]

Paraliparis selti is distinct from other snailfish in the same area due to it having 65 vertebrae and 12 abdominal vertebrae which is more than many other snailfish species. P. selti also has a comparatively low number of pectoral fins only having 18. [4]
Careproctus is a genus of snailfishes found in benthic and benthopelagic habitats in the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Southern Oceans. Whether they truly are absent from the Indian Ocean (except for a couple of species in Subantarctic waters) is unknown and might be an artifact of limited sampling. [ 1 ]
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 ...
Careproctus maslenikovae, or blushing snailfish, is a small, marine, bottom-dwelling snailfish. The type specimen was collected in a bottom trawl 234 meters deep west of the Islands of Four Mountains in the Aleutian Islands. The species was first described to science by J. W. Orr in 2021. [1] [2]
Liparis gibbus, the polka-dot snailfish, variegated snailfish or dusky snailfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This fish is found in Arctic waters. Juveniles of the species have been found to be biofluorescent.
