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). The snailfish was found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, and breaks the previous record by almost 1,640 feet (500 metres). The finding was part of an international expedition that also found many other new species at the extreme depths.

We know about outer space than what is happening in the deepest parts of the oceans. Imagine the pressure being exerted on that fish.

The fish was promptly declared endangered, protected, and all resource drilling was banned.

...and taken into protective custody where it promptly died.

“...Imagine the pressure being exerted on that fish....”

They call it “The Boehner Fish”

Spineless, slippery, and goes flat under pressure...

[Quick Shot]

Think for the fish the pressure is pretty much balanced. It’s that vacuum thing that tears things apart. Just wouldn’t bring him up too quick

And if you fry it up with some Old Bay, its pretty good eating.

~0 psi since it’s at equilibrium with it’s surroundings... ;-)

[Axenolith]

Mmmmm... Old Bay...

[The Sons of Liberty]

Truly “lower than whalesh*t”. I guess they’re buds with Jesse Ventura and a number of dems, including Boehner, McConnell, the ‘Beast and their boy 0bama.

you win

[cripplecreek]

So what about the fish they saw at the bottom of the challenger deep back in the 60s?

[bigbob]

How long did it take to reel ‘im in?

[jimpick]

Must have a deep voice.

“It is seen here swimming with crustaceans.”

His mother was yelling at him,

“If you keep hanging out with those crustaceans, you’re gonna get crabs!”

[blueunicorn6]

If you look closely at the photo from the article, you’ll see Bill Clinton under this fish because there’s nothing lower than Bill Clinton.

[Alex Murphy]

Imagine the pressure being exerted on that fish.

For every beautiful snailfish ,there is someone full of her crap

[Oshkalaboomboom]

So what is down there for this fish to eat?

So what is down there for this fish to eat?

I was thinking the same thing.... they all seem to have full bellies,so what ever their eating, there’s plenty of it.
I guess everything that dies winds up at the bottom.
