Scientists have broken the world record for the deepest fish ever caught, as well as the deepest fish ever filmed on camera.

A juvenile snailfish - part of the Liparidae family - was filmed in August 2022 at a depth of 8,336 metres in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench, beating the previous record in the Mariana Trench by 158 metres.

"Snailfish are amazing... I love the fact that they're kind of small and goofy and fun and just not being very deep sea-like yet at the same time they're way more deep sea than most deep sea fish," the deep-sea research expedition's chief scientist Alan Jamieson said in an interview.
