Deep-sea fish captured on camera: More Kermadec Trench Fish

This is crazy deep! Amazing that anything alive doesn't get crushed down there!

The deepest living fish ever spotted in the southern hemisphere have been caught on camera.
The bizarre-looking pink creatures were photographed at a depth of 7,560m (24,800ft), swimming in the Kermadec Trench off the coast of New Zealand.
An international team has been studying this area using a submersible, built to withstand immense pressures.
Last year, the same team recorded another fish at 7,700m (25,300ft) - the deepest ever filmed.
These were found in the Japan Trench, which is in the Pacific, north of the equator.
Both expeditions form part of the Hadeep project, which aims to expand our knowledge of life in the oceanic trenches, the deepest parts of the ocean floor.

That's awesome. It's amazing to think about the pressures that those fish are withstanding to live down that deep.

 

watchin the video - it looks to me like two types of fish are swimming. the bulbous pink one and one that is more "normal" shaped...

either way, rad video

 

They look like Tadpoles maybe they morph in to something else
