Mariana Snailfish: Deepest-ever Fish Discovered at 26,000 Feet under the Sea


The deepest-ever species of fish has been recovered from the Mariana Trench. Thriving at 26,200 feet below sea level, the small, slimy and translucent fish have somehow adapted to one of the harshest places in the ocean.

Earlier this year, a Japanese team filmed suspected snailfish swimming as deep 26,830 feet, but did not recover any samples.
