Literally me type beat
I was about to post this 
Most fish and indeed most vertebraes on planet earth are Bristlemouths. With numbers in the Quadrillions, they easily outnumber mammals, birds (including owls) and all the others put together. If an alien race just made a quick stop and beamed up one specimen of a vertebrae species, it would likely look like this:
These are the main inhabitants of earth as far as complex life goes. You just never see them, because they are smart enough to stay below 300 meters deep. Just chilling and signaling with their bioluminescent spots. Even when their main food source migrates to the surface daily, they stay down there. In fact, as they get older and their sex changes from male to female(oh yeah, that's a thing), their swim bladder gradually fills with lipids causing them to slowly shift downwards to deeper depths of over 5000 meters (16400 ft). They seem to hear the call of the abyss. What do they know, that we don't?
Do you have a source on the quadrillions part? I thought deep sea lil freaky dudes like that were all rare n stuff?
Sure I used to think the same. I think the trick is, that they eat stuff like krill and plankton from higher up, that migrates downwards once a day.
The bristlemouths yearn for the underwater mines.

me and my gang of endemic detrivores love our hadopelagic zone lifestyle.
every day is Christmas, playing in the nutrient rich marine snow.
You know what that stuff is made from, right?
only the yummiest scraps of poopies and dead bodies.
don't make me come up there and show you how glorious I have become, feasting in the eternal cold and dark.
Nope nope nope you stay in that ocean, you festering polyp
This is the comrade saying biology is weird down there by the way
That's normal
I have good news
Oh trust me, I know it's all dying. It's my job. 
ecology is not a fun field of study right now
but without the ocean you'd be on the same land mass as the USA
I say we drain the ocean
But where will billionaires go to die??

Team Magma moment
why dont we just build a submarine out of pepsi cans controlled with a ps2 controller and take it down to the bottom of the ocean and find out what the heck’s going on down there?

Thank u
"The Bloop" is a mysterious, ultra-low-frequency underwater sound recorded by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997. For years, scientists debated its origin, with theories ranging from giant sea creatures to military operations, but it was later determined that the sound came from icequakes, or the cracking and breaking away of icebergs from glaciers, according to NOAA.
That's what they want you to believe.
No because then the odds of getting more subnautica-like games in the future goes down
