bug report: fish can't go deep because TMAO NOT GOOD ENOUGH
"By capturing the world's second-deepest known fish, the hadal snailfish Notoliparis kermadecensis from 7,000 m, we find that they have the highest recorded TMAO contents, which, moreover, yield an extrapolated maximum for fish at about 8,200 m. This is previously unidentified evidence that biochemistry may constrain depth for a large taxonomic group."
