You wouldn't want to bump into any of these fish while snorkelling on holiday.

But these amazing pictures of creatures of the deep sea have been captured by scientists working at record low underwater levels underneath the Great Barrier Reef.

Experts from the University of Queensland's brain institute in Australia used high-tech cameras to glimpse at life almost 1,500 metres under the sea.
Marine biologist Justin Marshall, who led the team, said prehistoric six-gilled sharks, giant oil fish and swarms of crustaceans were among the species captured on camera.
