Dulcibella camanchaca is a species of amphipod crustacean discovered in the Atacama Trench, at depths of nearly 8,000 m (26,000 ft) in the South Pacific Ocean near Chile. [2] [3] Measuring approximately 4 cm (1.6 in) in length, this predatory amphipod is adapted to the extreme conditions of the hadal zone, making it one of the deepest-living predators identified to date.
This is thought to help the animals move to new feeding grounds and avoid predators. [6] The sea cucumber ranges in size from 11 to 25 centimeters (4.3 to 9.8 in). [7] Its most distinct feature is its coloring, which is dictated by size: small enypniastes are a bright pink, and larger individuals are a more reddish-brown color.
The Pacific viperfish (Chauliodus macouni), is a predatory deep-sea fish found in the North Pacific. [1] [2] It is reported as being either mesopelagic [1] or bathypelagic, with diel vertical migration to shallower waters. [2] The Pacific viperfish is one of the nine different species that belong to the genus Chauliodus, the viperfish.
Praya dubia, the giant siphonophore, lives in the mesopelagic zone to bathypelagic zone at 700 m (2,300 ft) to 1,000 m (3,300 ft) below sea level. It has been found off the coasts around the world, from Iceland in the North Atlantic to Chile in the South Pacific. [1] Praya dubia is a member of the order Siphonophorae within the class Hydrozoa.
They used a variety of underwater vehicles, including the Spy Shark and Deep Sea Predator, which were designed to resemble sharks.

Coastal fish are found in the waters above the continental shelves that extend from the continental shorelines, and around the coral reefs that surround volcanic islands. . The total world shoreline extends for 356,000 km (221,000 mi) [3] and the continental shelves occupy a total area of 24.3 million km 2 (9 376 million sq mi)
