Published on Dec 18, 2014Acompilation of video footage captured from the University of Aberdeen’sHadal-Lander in the Mariana Trench from 5000m to 10,545 m deep. Thelarge fish inhabit the shallower depth (5000 to 6500m) are rat-tails,cusk eels and eel pouts. At the mid depths (6500 to 8000m) are thesupergiant amphipods and the small pink snailfish. The fragile snailfishat 8145m is now the deepest living fish. At depth greater than 8500m,only large swarms of small scavenging amphipods are visible. The footagewas taken during the HADES-M cruise on Schmidt Ocean Institute’sResearch Vessel ‘Falkor’.Copyright SOI/HADES/University of Aberdeen (Dr. Alan Jamieson) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - Scavenging rat-tail eats bait at 5040m deep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - Large cusk eels at 4998m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - Large Decapod shrimps at 6010m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - Large cusk eel, called Bassozetus feeds at bait at 5040m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - A rat-tail, a cusk eel and an eel pout at 5040m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - A large cusk eel called Barathrites feeding at bait at 5040m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - A large supergiant amphipod approaching bait and starting to feed at 6141m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - Two large supergiant amphipod, one of which is being attached by cusk eels at 6141m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - Rat-tails, decapods, supergiants and snailfish at 7012m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - New species of snailfish at 7485m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - New deepest fish record of fragile snailfish at 8145m, with swarms of normal amphipods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4xmNGeCVU# - Swarms of amphipods in the second deepest place on Earth, The Sirena Deep at 10,545m deep
