New species in one of world\u2019s deepest ocean trenches<\/p><\/div>\n

This new species of ghostly white snailfish was photographed swimming at depths of 4.3 miles (7 km) during a recent expedition to the Peru-Chile trench in the southeastern Pacific Ocean.\u00a0“The tantalizing thing is we’ve got a very clear photo of the species,” said Monty Priede, director of Oceanlab at Scotland’s University of Aberdeen, which co-sponsored the expedition. “No one has ever seen this before, and it’s never been captured before.”<\/p>\n

During the 3 week expedition on the research vessel Sonne, the team of scientists employed state-of-the-art deep-sea imaging technology, including an ultra-deep free-falling baited camera system, to take a total of 6000 images between 4500 and 8000 meters deep within the trench.<\/p>\n

Dr Alan Jamieson from the University of Aberdeen’s Oceanlab, who led the expedition said: “Our findings, which revealed diverse and abundant species at depths previously thought to be void of fish, will prompt a rethink into marine populations at extreme depths.<\/span><\/p>\n
