"Japan's Scientists Capture Deepest Fish on Film"

A joint Japanese-Australian scientific expedition has caught and filmed fish more than 5 miles (8 kilometres) under the surface of the ocean for the first time ever. The snailfish, of the Pseudoliparis belyaevi species, were caught in traps set 8,022 metres underwater in the Japan Trench, south of Japan, during a two-month voyage by a team from the University of Western Australia and the Tokyo University of Marine Science. The expedition is part of a 10-year study into the deepest fish population on the planet.
