This new species of snailfish was discovered 7 kilometres down in the Peru-Chile trench in the south-east Pacific Ocean using a deep-sea baited camera system.

在东南太平洋秘鲁-智利海沟下面的7公里处，使用了深海诱饵式的摄像系统，才发现了这种新品种的狮子鱼。

Living so far underwater, the newfound, 6-inch-long (15-centimeter-long) snailfish can withstand pressures equal to 1, 600 elephants standing on the roof of a Mini Cooper, according to Oceanlab.

据海洋实验室称，这种新发现的狮子鱼，长约6英寸（15厘米），生活在如此深的海水中，能够承受的压力相当于迷你库珀车（Mini Cooper）车顶站1600头大象的重量。
