Very cool. Its sad that we know less about our own waters than we do about Mars, not that I'm against space exploration either!

That is sooo cool- but I would think with the water pressure the fish would have a flatter body shape (compression and all), but I'm not a marine biologist (I just play one on TV!) | |

Yeah the fish don't feel the pressure it's mainly maintaining oxygen in the blood I think that would be an issue . I swore I saw these same fish several years ago on some discovery show. From reading I wasn't really sure if these were new type or just found deepest. | |

"We certainly thought, deep down, fish would be relatively inactive, saving energy as much as possible, and so on," Professor Priede told BBC News.  The fish were surprisingly active
"But when you see the video, the fish are rushing around, feeding accurately, snapping at prey coming past."
