Snailfish

Liparidae, commonly known as snailfish or seasnails, is a family of scorpaeniform marine fish. Widely distributed from the Arctic to Antarctic Oceans including the northern Pacific, the snailfish family contains 30 genera and 361 species. The habitats chosen by snailfish are as widely variable as their size; they are found in both shallow intertidal zones and at depths of 7,500 metres (24,600 ft) or more, in both cold and warm waters.
