Scientists film deepest ever fish on seabed off Japan (CNN)

Cruising at a depth of 8336 meters (over 27000 feet) just above the seabed, a young snailfish has become the deepest fish ever filmed by scientists during a ...

Snailfish are members of Liparidae family, and while most snailfish live in shallow water, others survive at some of the greatest depths ever recorded, Jamieson said. Jamieson classified the fish as a juvenile and said younger deep sea snailfish often stay as deep as possible to avoid being eaten by bigger predators that swim at shallower depths. Scientists are filming in the trenches off Japan as part of a 10-year study into the deepest fish populations in the world.

Camera Catches Deepest Fish Ever Off Coast of Japan ... (ExplorersWeb)

Fish all need osmolyte, a chemical found in their cells, to counteract pressure — and according to The Guardian, the Minderoo-UWA researchers are finding the limit at which any fish can produce it. In fact, the fishes’ ancestors “They’re speciated into every corner of the globe,” expedition leader Alan Jamieson said in a Reuters interview. But they’re not found in the gelatinous bodies of snailfish, which helps them withstand the crushing pressure of the deep. The team also baited the submersible farther up, at 8,022m, and captured a few snailfish — the first ever fish recovered from deeper than 8,000m, it said. The craft was operating in conjunction with the DSSV Pressure Drop, crewed by a team from the

This beats the previous record in the Mariana Trench by 158m. "We don't appreciate the fact that it (the deep sea) is fundamentally most of planet Earth and resources should be put into understanding and how to work out how we are affecting it and how it works." Remotely operated cameras lowered by the joint expedition, part of a 10-year study into the deepest fish population on the planet, also recorded an unknown snailfish species swimming 8,336m deep in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench off southern Japan.

Thus, if Japan moves to weaken trade ties with China, it would severely batter the Japanese economy that is suffering a slow recession, Zhang said. The US has already called for a joint response to Chinese "economic coercion" in working-level talks with G7 nations. This will cause irreparable damage to the Japanese economy, according to experts. However, it's hard for G7 to reach an agreement on containment measures of raising tariffs, Zhou said. The blockade will only further stimulate China's resolve for self-reliance," Qin said. The Japanese side has repeatedly stated to the Chinese side that bilateral trade relations are close, that Japan is committed to promoting cooperation with China and that it will not adopt a "de-sinicization" approach, Mao said.
