“Snailfish” is called “shinkai kusa-uo” in Japanese. The deepest location where fish had previously been confirmed was at a depth of 8178m in the Mariana Trench, known as the world's deepest sea. This newly discovered location was over 150m deeper and was to be registered as a Guinness record. Based on theories such as osmotic pressure, fish are thought probably able to survive only to depths of around 8200–8400m. Experts predict that any future record improvements would be only about a few meters. #word
