Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis

Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis, the hadal snailfish, is a fish in the family Liparidae, originally described by Andriashev in 1955 as Careproctus amblystomopsis. It inhabits the hadal zone of the northwest Pacific Ocean, including the Kuril-Kamchatka and Japan trenches, and was recorded at about 7,700 meters depth in the Japan Trench in October 2008, at the time the deepest living fish ever filmed, a record later surpassed by other snailfish found in the Mariana Trench. Its Wikipedia lead does not describe body shape, coloration or size beyond a line illustration, so this description is limited to what is documented there: its depth range and its place in the history of deep-sea fish records.
