TL;DR Summary

Scientists have captured footage of a juvenile snailfish at over 27,000 feet underwater in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench, breaking the record for the deepest fish filmed. The snailfish was reported to be nearing the limit of depth for a fish to survive in the ocean. Most fish under the snailfish umbrella tend to reside in shallow water, but their gelatinous bodies have helped some successfully adapt to the high pressures in trenches.
