Depth range 6898–7966 m. Authors state that it is the deepest record for fish (Pisces) with corroborated evidence (in 2017). [details]
Etymology The Mariana Trench famously houses the ocean’s deepest point, at Challenger Deep, named for the HMS Challenger expedition which discovered the trench in 1875. Their deepest sounding of 8,184 m, then the greatest known ocean depth, was christened Swire Deep after Herbert Swire, the ship’s First Navigating Sublieutenant (Corfield 2003). We name this fish in his honor, in acknowledgment and gratitude of the crew
members that have supported oceanographic research throughout history. [details]
