Abstract/Notes	Two centuries have passed since Risso (1810, 1826) first began the process of systematically collecting and describing deep-sea fishes. he circumnavigation of the globe by the HMS Challenger (1873–1876) revealed the existence of deep-sea fishes in all of the world’s major oceans, and the voyage of Valdivia (1898–1899) found fishes throughout the water column from the surface to the abyss, the largest living space on the planet. New species continue to be described, and Yancey et al. (2014) finally showed that there is a maximum depth limit, 8400 m, beyond which fishes cannot live. From best-selling books describing early voyages of discovery (Wyville Thomson, 1873) to twenty-first-century electronic media, there has been continuing widespread public fascination with the natural history of the creatures of the deep. Children’s books and magazines feature pictures of weird deep-sea fishes that rival dinosaurs in exciting the imagination of the young. The discovery of life in the deep has produced some of the most iconic images of nature on this planet.
