Fish live at a depth of nearly 8km under the seabed

Pseudoliparis swirei snail has the ability to withstand great pressure equivalent to 1,600 elephants overlap.

Scientists officially confirmed the new species of snail called Pseudoliparis swirei , discovered at a depth of 7,966 meters under the Mariana trench, the deepest ocean trench in the world in the western Pacific Ocean, National Geographic on 28/28 11 reports.

It looks pretty with pinkish color and the body is so transparent that it can be seen from the outside. Experts first discovered this creature in 2014. Earlier this year, they also discovered snails under the Mariana trench. However, this is the first time they are described in detail.

The fish that live at the deepest depths of the ocean may differ from the usual visualization of people on the bottom of the sea."Down to this depth, fish are often very different in shape. They have no scales, no large teeth and no bioluminescence, " said Mackenzie Gerringer, Ph.D., from the Friday Harbor Laboratory at Washington University. said.

This is just one of two species of snail fish discovered through expeditions under the Mariana trench. The scientists captured a total of 37 Pseudoliparis swirei fish and recorded one swimming under the depth of 8,178 meters under the sea.

However, they have not captured an individual of the other species but only recorded them at the same depth. Their bodies looked so soft that scientists compared them to a piece of tissue paper that was dragged under water.

The Pseudoliparis swirei fish is almost certainly an endemic creature of the Mariana trench and the number of individuals living here is also quite large. Their eggs are especially large with a width of almost one centimeter. Gerringer once found hundreds of small crustaceans in the abdomen of the fish, indicating they have abundant food resources on the seabed.

Snails have the ability to withstand the water pressure of 1,600 elephants overlaid, Gerringer said. This enormous pressure is also the reason scientists think that fish cannot survive at depths of more than 8,200 meters, despite the deepest point of the Mariana trench, also the deepest point in the ocean, up to 11,000 meters.
