The deepest fish ever captured

A new record for the deepest fish ever filmed and caught has just been set by scientists from The University of Western Australia and Japan.

At a depth of more than 8km underwater, in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench in south of Japan, the team managed to film the deepest record of a fish, the unknown snailfish species. This species had only ever been previously seen at a depth of 7,703m in 2008.

UWA professor Alan Jamieson, founder of the Minderoo-UWA Deep Sea Research Centre and chief scientist of the expedition joined Madeleine Lombardi for On The Record to discuss.
