phylum | Chordata | Hadal snailfish, is a species of snailfish from the hadal zone of the Northwest Pacific Ocean,including the Kuril–Kamchatka and Japan Trenches. In October 2008, a team from British and Japanese institutes discovered a shoal of Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis at a depth of about 7,700 m (25,300 ft) in the Japan Trench. These were, at the time, the deepest living fish ever recorded on film.
