Scientists from Australia and Japan have broken a new record after filming and catching the world’s deepest fish at just over an astonishing 27,000 feet (8.3 kilometers) below sea level.
Teams from the University of Western Australia (UWA) and the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology have spent over 15 years researching deep snailfish. In August 2022, the research ship DSSV Pressure Drop set out on an expedition to the North Pacific Ocean and around Japan for a two-month exploration of deep-sea trenches, with the deepest registering approx. 30,511 feet (9,300 meters) below sea level.
