Very weird life.
Mariana snailfish thrive in the depths of the Mariana Trench, living off tiny crustaceans and shrimp that they suck into their mouths. In 2008, the hadal snailfish (Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis) was observed and recorded at a depth of 7700 meters in the Japan Trench.

Alan Jamieson It is crescent-shaped and measures about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) in length and 69 km (43 mi) in width.
Morphology and genome of a snailfish from the Mariana Trench provide insights into deep-sea adaptation, Nature Ecology & Evolution (2019). In the Mariana Trench—7,000 meters below the ocean’s surface—these fish makes a living in total darkness and at crushing pressures that can reach 1,000 times more than at sea level. Pseudoliparis swirei Location: Western Pacific Ocean.

The Mariana Trench is more than 7 miles (11 kilometers) deep.
The Mariana snailfish that we filmed were eating these amphipods, which make up most of their diet. Pseudoliparis swirei, the Mariana snailfish or Mariana hadal snailfish, is a species of snailfish found at hadal depths in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean. The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean about 200 kilometres (124 mi) east of the Mariana Islands; it is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth.
In 1970, one specimen was trawled from a depth of 8370 meters in the Puerto Rico Trench.

It is known from a depth range of 6,198–8,076 m (20,335–26,496 ft), including a capture at 7,966 m (26,135 ft), which possibly is the record for a fish caught on the seafloor.
Officially known as Pseudoliparis swirei, the new snailfish gets its common name from its home, the Mariana Trench, which at a maximum depth of … Alan Jamieson These are, to date, the deepest living fish ever recorded. More information: Kun Wang et al. In the dark abyss of the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific lies the deepest spot in the world's oceans and the deepest-dwelling fish ever discovered with verified depth.
About the Snailfish.

These were, at the time, the deepest living fish ever recorded on film.
Morphology and genome of a snailfish from the Mariana Trench provide insights into deep-sea adaptation, Nature Ecology & Evolution (2019).
Large numbers of the new species were attracted to traps baited with mackerel. The animal was dead, however, upon arrival at the surface. Yet life finds a way to survive. The deepest-living described species is Pseudoliparis swirei, also of the Mariana Trench, which has been recorded to 8,076 m (26,496 ft). Scientists have formally identified a new species of snailfish, the deepest ever caught in the Mariana Trench.
The snailfish was found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench … The record was surpassed by a snailfish that was filmed at a depth of 8,145 m (26,722 ft) in December 2014 in the Mariana Trench, and extended in May 2017 when another was filmed at a depth of 8,178 m (26,831 ft) in the Mariana Trench. A new record has been set for the deepest fish ever seen in the world, at an incredible depth of 26,722 feet (8,145 metres).
Although it is a toxic environment, some creatures of the deep thrive there.
The modest-sounding snailfish has broken all previous records by swimming deeper than any other creature. In general, snailfish (notably genera Notoliparis and Pseudoliparis) are the most common and dominant fish family in the hadal zone.
