New fish found! 27,000 feet below the surface in the Pacific's Mariana Trench.

Pretty exciting whenever a new discovery is made! We can thank Aberdeen University for this latest and record breaking discovery. The discovery for this fish, which is thought to be a snailfish, sets the record for the deepest depths a fish has been found in the world. It was found at 26,722 feet or 8,145 metres. This snailfish is described by Dr Alan Jamison of Aberdeen University by saying "This really deep fish did not look like anything we had seen before, nor does it look like anything we know of. It is unbelievably fragile, with large wing-like fins and a head resembling a cartoon dog". The snailfish is only a little bit larger than the size an average persons hand and has no eyes.
