Fish Living at the Bottom of the Ocean 8,000 Meters [Video]

Although humanity has started to aim to set foot on Mars, the Earth we are on still hosts many unexplored places. Of course, these places the depths of our oceans exists.

In the discoveries made to date, it has been seen that some fish species live even at depths of up to 7000 meters. Recently, the record for fish observed to live in the deepest point has also been broken. Scientists, 8,336 meters deep He imaged a fish belonging to the Liparidae family.

Fish displayed at the deepest point:

The fish displayed in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench in the western Pacific belonged to the genus Pseudoliparis belyaevi. This fish species has been seen before at a maximum depth of 7,703 meters. Species, with new discovery The only fish species seen below 8000 meters depth was recorded as.

Getting this image wasn’t easy at all:

The image we see above is the work of scientists from the University of Western Australia. The final product of 15 years of work it happened. The team lowered the bait we saw in the image into the ocean in September 2022. Among the baits were cameras that allowed us to see the image.

The team also dropped baits at 9,300 and 7,300 meters deep off the coast of Japan to discover fish that live in the deepest spots.

What does a person feel at a depth of 8336 meters?

If you wanted to go down to this depth of pitch darkness, you wouldn’t even be able to reach halfway. The maximum depth that a person can descend even with diving equipment to date 332 meters was limited to. This record was set by Ahmed Gabr in the Red Sea in 2014.

The freediving record without using any equipment was set by Herbert Nitsch in 2007 with 253 meters.

If you manage to descend to a depth of 8336 meters somehow, for example, if you teleport to that point, 12136.39 psi You would be under pressure. That’s about 825 times the atmospheric pressure you’re exposed to when we go to the seaside.
