Scientists have broken the world record for the deepest fish ever caught, as well as the deepest fish ever filmed on camera. A juvenile snailfish – part of the Liparidae family – was filmed at a depth of 8,336 metres in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench, beating the previous record in the Mariana Trench by 158 metres.
