Is life found at all depths in the ocean?

The question was settled in 1960, when Piccard and Walsh reported a swimming animal, resembling a sole or other flatfish about a foot long, at 35,800 feet deep, observed from a porthole of the bathyscapne Trieste. Some scientists believed, as recently as 1860, that marine life could not exist below 1,800 feet. That view was altered when a telegraph cable laid in the ocean bottom at 6,000 feet deep was retrieved and found covered with many forms of marine life.
