The 'ghost' fish only lives at a depth of 7.5 km on the seabed, melting when ashore

Three new 'ghost' species are found at 7,500 meters deep in the seabed, in one of the deepest fissures in the Pacific.

According to the Daily Mail, the Atacama fissure research team in the south-eastern Pacific has discovered three new 'ghost' species, belonging to the tadpole family (snailfish).

They were found to live at a depth of 6,500-7,500 meters at the bottom of the sea. Researchers say the 'ghost' fish that live here are constructed to withstand harsh conditions. In contrast, their bodies will melt once they are brought ashore.

The video was published by the researchers, showing scenes of fish throughout the bottom of the sea.

Transparent "ghost" fish live deep in the sea floor.

The Atacama crack is 8,000 meters deep, stretching nearly 6,000 kilometers along the area off the coast of South America. The 'ghost' fish that live here are at the top of the food chain.

"Their bodies change to adapt to conditions that are very deep at the bottom of the sea ," said University of Newcastle expert Thomas Linley. 'At this depth, they don't have to worry about rivals or formidable predators. We are even the creatures at the top of the food chain, specializing in hunting other creatures. '

'Thanks to the enormous pressure on the seabed, this fish's body becomes stable. They will melt as soon as they are brought ashore , 'Linley said.

This fish melts if brought to shore because of pressure difference.

In addition to the new 'ghost' species, the researchers also discovered a kind of regular foot (isopod) called Munnopsid . This creature can walk on the seabed, like a spider.

'It's great to see them in the natural environment. Especially when they move from swimming to the bottom of the sea, ' Linley added.
