According to Guinness World Records, a juvenile Pseudoliparis snailfish of an unidentified species was photographed on camera in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench off Japan, 8,336 meters (27,349 feet) below the surface. A few days after the snailfish was captured on camera, researchers collected two other Pseudoliparis belyaevi snailfish from a depth of 8,022 meters in the Japan trench. This is the first time that any fish have been caught categorically from below 8,000 m (26,247 ft).
This discovery was documented over a two-month survey on the research vessel DSV Pressure Drop. The snailfish were documented marine biologs from the University of Western Australia (UWA) and the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology (TUMSAT). A video of the snailfish was shared Guinness World Records on Youtube.
