A recently discovered deep sea fish from the Atacama Trench, a large trench near the coast of Chile and Peru, in the west coast of South America, sheds light on how fish species colonize deep sea environments.
Reaching the size of a hand, this deep sea fish is named Paraliparis selti, and is related to southern ocean species rather to typical deep sea snail fishes, according to molecular and micro computed tomography analysis. The genus Paraliparis is abundant in the Southern Ocean, as well in the Antarctic, but surprising, this fish is the first member of the genus found in the hadal zone, at 6500 m depth.
This trench is poorly explored, in 2018, three snailfishes, similar looking to Paraliparis selti, were discovered.
Photo: In situ still images of P. selti sp. nov. taken by baited camera at 6520 to 6714 m depth. Scale bars 50 mm
Reference: Linley et al. 2022. Independent radiation of snailfishes into the hadal zone confirmed by Paraliparis selti sp. nov. (Perciformes: Liparidae) from the Atacama Trench, SE Pacific. Mar. Biodivers.
Photo description: Four different footages of the Paraliparis selti. This fish is blue, scaless, present large eyes and a body elongate. In the images, is shown swimming near the bottom, eating a fish carcass.
