Excited scientists have photographed a snailfish swimming 8,336 metres below sea level. This makes it the deepest fish ever caught on camera.
Previously, the deepest recorded fish was seen 8,178 metres down.
Scientists dropped an automatic "lander" camera into the Izu-Ogasawara Trench in the Pacific Ocean near Japan. They filmed the snailfish that they estimated to be very close to the deepest water that any fish can survive.
Snailfish live in the deepest part of the ocean, known as the hadal zone, where depths reach 6,000 to 11,000 metres and there is no light.
We are quickly learning more about the deepest oceans, says marine scientist Alan Jamieson.
