Deepest Fish On Film
In 2008 we reported on the 7700 meter record for filming fish, video above, Using a remote lander, a group filmed Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis, a deep-water snailfish, found only in the Northwest Pacific between 6.1km to 7.5km deep.
Now this same group filmed swarms of the snailfish Notoliparis kermadecensis nibbling at bait 7560 meters, the deepest for a locality in the southern hemisphere. You can see that video here.
Of course all of this reminds me of…

Excellent. I think I need to style my hair like Simon LeBon again.
Those snailfish can sure shake it. Groove Armada style.

Fantastic fish footage (!!!) although I think you’ve dated yourself with the choice of music there

I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Music is timeless.
