snailfish
Snailfish are a group of fish belonging to the family Liparidae, known for their soft bodies and lack of scales. They are primarily found in deep-sea environments, often at extreme depths where few other fish can survive. Their unique adaptations allow them to thrive in high-pressure conditions, making them one of the deepest-living fish species.
These fish have a gelatinous structure that helps them withstand the intense pressure of the ocean depths. Snailfish are typically small, with some species measuring only a few inches long. They feed on small invertebrates and are an important part of the deep-sea ecosystem.
