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 ...
Although most snailfish live no deeper than the bathyal zone (less than 4,000 m [13,000 ft] deep), some live at greater depths than any other fish. In 2008, a UK-Japan team discovered a shoal of Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis snailfish at a depth of 7,700 m (25,300 ft) in the Japan Trench. [18]
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 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]
Liparis tunicatus, or the kelp snailfish, is a species of snailfish from the genus Liparis. [1] It can be found in marine, demersal waters at a depth range from 0 to 620 m (0–2,034 ft). [1] The kelp snailfish lives in the Arctic and Northwest Atlantic Ocean among kelp. [1] The species is common, at least around Greenland and Franz Josef Land.
An unknown snailfish species of the genus Pseudoliparis was filmed in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench, south of Japan, at a depth of 8,336m during a two-month long expedition. ... at a depth of 8,336m ...
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).
