Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis Andriashev (1955)
|
Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis is a species of fish in the Snailfish family, described by Andriashev in 1955.
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 7.7km (4.8 miles) in the Japan Trench. These are, to date, the deepest living fish ever recorded. [1][2]
