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]
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 ...

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 ...
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 species lives in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean, which NIWA scientist Brit Finucci said makes them difficult to study. One ghost shark was caught on camera swimming off the coast of ...
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).
