Mariana sailfish (lat. Pseudoliparis swirei) — the deep-sea fish all of that are known to science. It is similar to chicken affected by extensive swelling, and lives, of course, in the Mariana trench. Scientists first discovered it at a depth of 7 986 meters below sea level in 2014. Fresh article in the journal Zootaxa talks about how researchers have studied the unusual creature.

“At first glance, the sailboat is absolutely not adapted to life at such a depth, but in fact he and his relatives perfectly survive in extreme conditions,” says McKenzie Garringer, doctoral candidate, University of Washington, who participated in the expedition of 2014. Currently, scientists are trying to understand how exactly this fish is adapted for life in the environment under tremendous pressure.
