New Deep Sea Fish

Scientists and researcher have recently returned from a historic dive into the Mariana's Trench and have discovered several amazing things, including a whole new species of fish found deeper than any other previously known species.  Traveling to never before seen depths in the Mariana's Trench, researchers aboard the Falkor performed the first ever detailed examination of these incredible depths and have come back with very interesting information.  The researchers broke many records on this exploration including deepest rock sample ever taken.  The scientists examined many different depths to see what kind of environments exist at these incredible depths.  Traveling as far as 34,777 feet into the trench, they found thriving communities in incredibly deep waters, and discovered a new species of fish found in a depth thought inhabitable.  The researchers used specifically modified machine that could navigate and record information at amazing depths.  Many
species were also discovered on this expedition and these important findings will help to further understand this incredible and mysterious environment.
