Deep Diver doesn't fully describe the amazing Mariana Snailfish, the deepest dwelling fish known to man.
Researchers from the University of Washington collected 36 samples of the fish during two separate expeditions in 2014 and 2017, when free-falling baited traps were dropped almost 8,000 meters into the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world’s oceans. Dubbed Pseudoliparis Swirei, scientists have opted to call the creature the slightly more pronounceable ‘Mariana snailfish’, after the underwater trench in which it lives.
Life finds a way, always.
