Notoliparis kermadecensis (from Greek: noton, back, and liparos, fat) is a species of
standard length of up to 25.8 cm (10.2 in).[2]
It is among the deepest living fish; in the Southern Hemisphere only larvae of N. kermadecensis and other hadal snailfish spend time in the open water at relatively shallow depths, less than 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[4]
