Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis, or the hadal snailfish, is a species of snailfish from hadal depths of the North Pacific Ocean.[1]
In October 2008, a team from Scottish and Japanese institutes discovered a shoal of P. amblystomopsis at a depth of 7,700 metres (25,300 ft) in the Japan Trench. These were, until December 2014, the deepest living fish ever recorded on film.[2] The record has since been surpassed by another (unidentified) type of snailfish filmed at a depth of 8,145 metres (26,700 ft).[3]
