A diving robot has filmed what is possibly the deepest living fish on our planet in the sea off Japan – more than eight kilometers below the sea surface.
The disk bellies were filmed at a depth of 8336 meters.
A team of Australian and Japanese researchers released footage of a specimen of a previously unknown genus of deep-sea fish on Sunday. The disc-bellied fish (Pseudoliparis) was discovered at a depth of 8336 meters – the scientists from the University of Western Australia and the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology have achieved a novelty: a fish has never been sighted at such a great depth.
