1 FISH

2 This is a deep-water species living at depths of 900 to 1250 meters.
Goblin Shark The goblin shark is a rare species of deep-sea shark. Sometimes called a "living fossil", it has a lineage of 125 million years old. Deep Sea Fish Barrel Fish They have large, telescoping eyes, which are enclosed within a large transparent dome of soft tissue. Barrel eyes have large, dome-shaped, transparent heads; this presumably allows the eyes to collect even more incident light. Fangtooth While understandably named for their disproportionately large, fang-like teeth and unapproachable visage, fangtooths are actually quite small and harmless to humans: the larger of the two species, the common fangtooth, reaches a maximum length of just 16 cm. Hairy Angler Fish The Hairy Angler fish has a long, "fishing lure" which is tipped with a bulb called an esca which it can illuminate. This is a deep-water species living at depths of 900 to 1250 meters. Blob Fish Is a species of deep-sea fish It living off the continental shelves in very deep water (839–2800 m) in the North Pacific Ocean.

3 "a remote camera probe reveals the most extraordinary discovery of all - the ethereal snail fish,"
We know less about he environment in the deep ocean than the surface of Mars and the surreal life it contains. "At five miles down this is the deepest living fish so far discovered," Attenborough declared. "No-one imagined that an animal as complex as a fish could exist in such extreme pressures."

4 What is the longest fish in the world?
Oarfish are large, greatly elongated fish, found in all moderateto tropical oceans yet rarely seen. One of these, the giant oarfish is the longest bony fish alive, growing up to 11 m (36 ft) in length. That is not enough to qualify as the longest fish, however, as some of the cartilaginous fish such as the basking shark and whale shark are even longer.

5 HEAVIEST BONY FISH IN THE WORLD
The ocean sunfish or common mola (Mola mola) is the heaviest known bony fish in the world. Adults typically weigh between 247 and 1,000 kg

6 Smallest fish in the world
Paedocypris is found in swamps and streams on the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo, Sumatra and Bintan. It has has been claimed to be the smallest known species of fish in the world. The smallest mature female measured 7.9 mm and the largest known individual was 10.3 mm.
