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 ...
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]

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 ...
The species in these deepest records are unknown and may be undescribed, but have been referred to as "ethereal snailfish". The deepest-living described species is Pseudoliparis swirei, of the Mariana Trench, recorded at 8,076 m (26,496 ft). [14] [22]
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 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 .
Notoliparis kermadecensis (from Greek: noton, back, and liparos, fat) is a species of snailfish (Liparidae) that lives in the deep sea.Endemic to the Kermadec Trench in the Southwest Pacific, it is hadobenthic with a depth range between 6,474 and 7,561 m (21,240–24,806 ft), [1] and can reach a standard length of up to 25.8 cm (10.2 in).
