We know absolutely nothing at all about what's at the depths of our oceans mainly due to the pressure problems and obviously getting down to the deep dark below. As science moves on, I can see us expanding our knowledge about the deep oceans and finding new and wonderful lifeforms living down there.

Anyone else watched the BBC blue planet and sat there with their jaw open at the bioilluminesence that some species uses as a weapon, as a way of catching food or communications?

Am I the only person to wonder what they taste like with chips and mushy peas?

That is simply amazing those fish are so cute and as said goes against every expertation of what should have been found at that depth.

i wonder if they would fit in a fishtank, of if they would die in the pressure on surface water?

There was a thread yesterday asking what people fear the most. Being that deep under water has to be one of mine - completely black, freezing, and random species that no one has ever seen. Would scare the bejesus outta me.

Would be interesting to get an idea of size i mean are they the size of tadpoles or the size of killer whales?

Well it says they're feeding on 'little shrimps' so I'm guessing the size of a goldfish....
