A team of scientists from academic institutions in Japan and Australia has filmed a fish at a depth of 8,336 meters in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench in southern Japan, setting a new record for the deepest fish ever recorded.
The team, which includes researchers from Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, was conducting a survey in a part of the trench near the Ogasawara Islands on Aug. 15, 2022, when their underwater robot recorded the fish.
Guinness World Records has recognized the discovery as the world's deepest fish on record.
