The hadal snailfish, Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis is a species of snailfish, described by Anatoly Petrovich Andriashev in 1955.[1]
In October 2008, a team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen's Oceanlab and the University of Tokyo's Ocean Research Institute discovered a shoal of P. amblystomopsis at a depth of 7,700 metres (25,300 ft) in the Japan Trench. These are, to date, the deepest living fish ever recorded.[2]
