Scientists say they have discovered three new species of fish in one of the deepest places on Earth. All three species were found in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Chile and Peru. They were deep in the Atacama Trench, 7,500 meters below the surface. Researchers from Britain’s Newcastle University say the new species have been given temporary names based on their coloring. They are known as ‘the pink, the blue and the purple Atacama Snailfish.’ The three snailfish species are different from most other fish. Their unusual bodies are built to deal with the cold water and extreme pressure deep in the ocean. All three are small and translucent, meaning light can pass through their skin. They also have no scales on the skin for protection. Thomas Linley is with Newscastle University. He said in a statement, “the hardest structures in their bodies are the bones in their inner ear which give them balance and their teeth.
