A new device called a Periscop kept the animal at its natural pressure, preventing decompression, as it was pulled up through the water.
"Pressurized recovery has been around for the past 30 years, but this is the deepest fish-capture under pressure - the previous record was 1,400m. This is also the first time pressurized capture has occurred at a hydrothermal vent," said Dr Bruce Shillito, marine biologist at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France.
