See the world’s deepest fish | CNN

A team of scientists has made a groundbreaking discovery, capturing footage of the deepest fish ever recorded. The incredible creature was filmed at an astonishing depth of over 27,000 feet in the trenches off Japan as part of an expedition.

The film, which is currently available on CNN's website and YouTube channel, shows the snailfish swimming through the dark waters, its movements eerily slow due to the crushing pressure at such extreme depths.

Despite the daunting conditions, scientists were able to capture footage of this mysterious fish using specialized equipment designed for such expeditions.

To put the incredible depth into perspective, it's worth noting that humans are not adapted to live in these conditions and can only survive for a short time before succumbing to the pressure.
 
I mean... 27k feet is INSANE 🤯 Like, I'm glad we have people like this team of scientists out there exploring the depths of our oceans, but at the same time... it's crazy to think about how far away humanity is from being able to survive in that environment. We're all good with a comfy 10ft pool, and these fish are just chillin' down 27k feet 🌊🐟 I wish we could capture some footage of our own lives at that depth... would be super trippy seeing the world above looking like a tiny toy 🤪
 
I cant even imagine bein alive at that deep 😩 27k feet is straight up crazy talk. like what even is down there lol? the footage of this snailfish is so trippy, it's like somethin outta a sci-fi movie 🚀 but for real tho, can u even survive with that kind of pressure on ur body? i read somewhere humans can only hold their breath for like 2 min max 🤯 and that's at sea level, not down in the trenches. the scientists who filmed this gotta be mental 😅
 
I'm surprised they finally got some decent footage of those creatures 🐟🎥! I mean, 27k feet is crazy talk, right? It's amazing that scientists were able to set up their fancy equipment and get some real shots of these fishies. But, you know, it's not like they're the first ones to film 'em or anything... I was talking to this dude who went on a similar expedition last year and he swears he saw 'em with his own eyes 🤷‍♂️. Anyway, I guess it's cool that we got to see what these fish are like at such extreme depths. I just wish they'd release more footage, you know? The slow-mo thing is trippy...
 
omg is this real?! 🤯 I'm literally blown away by this discovery! 27k feet is insane, like what even is down there? 🌊 Do they have like underwater cities or something?

and can we talk about how slow that fish moves it's almost like it's swimming through syrup lol. and the pressure, wow, my head hurts just thinking about it 😩.

I wonder what other secrets are hiding in those depths, like, have they found any other weird creatures? 🐙 And what's with the equipment, is it like super expensive to make for this kinda stuff?

also, I'm curious, how do these scientists survive on such deep dives? don't they get like, the bends or something? 🤕
 
I don’t usually comment but I'm genuinely stoked about this discovery lol 💦🐟! 27,000 feet is insane! Can you even imagine being down that deep? It's like, whoa... 😲 The fact that these scientists were able to capture footage of something so rare and unusual is just mind-blowing. And I love how it's not just some CGI or edited thing, it's real footage of a living creature in one of the most extreme environments on Earth 🌊. It makes me want to learn more about this snailfish and its habitat... have they found out what kind of adaptations it has to survive in those conditions? That'd be super interesting 😄
 
omg did u see that video of the deepest fish ever recorded?? i'm literally speechless 😍🐟 27k feet is insane, like who even lives down there?! 🤯 it's crazy to think we're not even adapted to those conditions, and just by chance this team was able to capture footage of such a creature 🎥. the snailfish looks so cool swimming through that dark water, i wish i could see more vids like this 📹🔍
 
man this is mind blowin 🤯 I'm all about explorin new frontiers and pushin limits, and scientists doin this? they're literally at the edge of the known world 💥 I don't think we should be so quick to judge these creatures livin in the dark depths. they're just tryna survive, same as us. it's like they say, adapt or perish 🐚🌊
 
Wow 🤯 This is so cool! I'm literally speechless right now... 27,000 feet?! That's insane! I mean, we're talking about an environment that's basically hostile to human life, and yet there's this incredible creature thriving down there? The fact that they were able to capture footage of it is just mind-blowing. And can you imagine the conditions on the equipment they used to make the film? It's like something out of a sci-fi movie... interesting 👀

omg 27k feet tho?! like, i thought the deepest part of my internet was 5k down the rabbit hole 😂🔁

can you imagine being down that deep and just chillin' with a snailfish? "yooo, what's good at -27k ft?" 🤣🐟

scientists are literally the real MVPs for capturing this footage 🙌📹 and i'm low-key fascinated by these creatures 🐳👀
 
omg can u believe they actually captured footage of the deepest fish ever recorded 🐠😲 I mean, i've seen some crazy stuff online but this is on another level lol! 27k feet is like, whoa... that's deeper than most submarines go 😅 and it's even more mind-blowing that scientists were able to film a living thing in those conditions. the fact that they had to use special equipment just to survive is crazy enough, but getting footage of an actual creature? that's just insane 🤯 i'm loving this clip on CNN, btw 👍
 
🐠 The notion that life thrives at unimaginable depths is truly fascinating! This discovery of the deepest fish ever recorded serves as a poignant reminder of the awe-inspiring complexity and resilience of our planet's ecosystem 🌊. The fact that scientists were able to capture such footage using specialized equipment is a testament to human ingenuity and the advancement of technology 🔍.

What's particularly striking about this creature is its ability to adapt to an environment that would be hostile to most other forms of life, let alone humans. It's a stark contrast to our own physical limitations in terms of depth tolerance, serving as a poignant reminder of our own place within the natural world 🌎. Overall, this discovery has significant implications for our understanding of the ocean's ecosystem and the importance of continued exploration and research into its depths 💡.
 
I'm totally skeptical about this deep-sea snailfish discovery 🤔. I mean, how reliable is that footage? Can we really trust scientists to get it right? 27,000 feet is crazy, but it sounds like more of a marketing ploy than a real scientific breakthrough. What's the point of even trying to film something at that depth? It's just gonna be some blurry video with a weird fish swimming around 📹. And what about all those expeditions to the depths of the ocean? Have we ever seen any real footage from down there before? Or is this just another example of scientists trying to get attention for their work 🔥?
 
I'm literally speechless! 🤯 Watching that film of the snailfish just blows my mind - 27k feet is insane! I feel bad for those poor fishies, swimming around in the dark with so much pressure, it's like they're living on a different planet. And can you imagine having to design equipment that can handle such extreme conditions? 🤔 That's some next-level tech right there.

I'm loving how scientists are pushing boundaries and exploring our oceans, we still have so much to learn about the creatures that call those depths home. The fact that they were able to capture footage of this incredible creature is just a testament to their dedication and expertise. It's mind-blowing to think that there's still so much left to discover and explore. Keep it up, scientists! 🌊💦
 
Blimey 🤯... I mean, can you even imagine being down there that deep? Like, seriously, 27,000 feet is MIND-BLOWING 😲! And the footage they got of it is insane... like, it's like watching a fish in slow motion or something 🐟. The fact that these scientists were able to get that footage without even getting hurt is just... wow 💥.

I'm also kinda fascinated by how these creatures can survive down there with all that pressure and darkness. It's like they're from another world or something 🌌. And yeah, it's crazy to think about humans not being adapted for that kind of thing at all... I mean, we'd be toast after like 2 minutes down there 😂.
 
omg did u see this?! scientists just captured footage of the DEEPEST FISH EVER recorded like 27k feet deep 🤯🌊 i'm literally shook, the pressure is crazy! i mean, can u even imagine swimming that slow? it's like they're in their own world down there 💦 but what's wild is that humans cant even survive at that depth for more than a few minutes, so these scientists are basically superheroes 🙌 they need some serious tech to make this possible, like super strong cameras and equipment that can withstand the pressure. i'm curious to see what other secrets the deep sea has in store for us 😁
 
Man, can you believe we're still discovering new species that are literally out of this world 🤯! I mean, 27,000 feet is just crazy talk, it's like something out of a sci-fi movie. And yet, here we have scientists who risk their lives to capture footage of this...this underwater creature.

I gotta say, the snailfish does look pretty cool, all slow and sluggish because of the pressure 🐙. It's wild to think that we're still learning about creatures like this, even in our own ocean. And the fact that they were able to get footage without losing anyone is just a testament to how awesome scientists are 👏.

But at the same time, it's also kinda sad that we need to capture footage of these creatures to begin with. Like, can't we just leave them alone and appreciate them from a distance? Maybe that's just me being a nostalgic, but I feel like we're always chasing after something new, whether it's a species or a technology or whatever, and sometimes we forget about the beauty in the present moment 🌊
 
omg 27k feet is like whoa 🤯 i mean i've heard of deep-sea creatures but this one is crazy! i wonder how they found it tho didnt they have to dive super deep with scuba gear or something? and those cameras must be super powerful lol how did they make sure the footage wasn't blurry from all that pressure? i'm just curious about what these creatures look like in real life, do they have big eyes or fins or... idk i need to watch it ASAP 📹👀
 
omg I'm literally fascinated by this discovery 🤯! 27k feet is just mind-blowing lol how do they even capture footage of something like that? it's like, whoa the pressure must be so intense you'd think the fish would just get squished or something . and yet they're swimming around like nothing's wrong 😂 i feel like we're still learning so much about our ocean and its creatures and this just reminds me of how tiny we are in comparison 🌊 it's wild to think that there's still stuff out there that's way beyond human capabilities , like what else is hiding in the depths? 🤔
 
I'm not buying it 🤔. 27k feet is just crazy talk! What's next? Deep-sea colonies or something? I mean, have you seen those fishies they found? The one with the built-in helmet? It looks like a sci-fi movie prop to me. And what's the point of filming them if we're not gonna find a way to bring 'em back up to surface and let us see 'em for real? Just seems like another example of tech trying to solve problems that aren't even worth solving 😒.
