How do Anglerfish withstand the high pressure of the ocean?

Now, a submarine is basically a metal container filled with air, and there is just enough air in a submarine to exert the atmospheric pressure at sea level. If the sub goes underwater, the amount of air within it does not change (unless there is a leak, of course), so the pressure within the sub remains the same. read more

You have 1.5 meters of skin, so the atmospheric pressure on you is about 150,000 N. Both you and all the fish in the depths have the same pressure inside and outside. read more

When we go beneath the waves, however, the pressure on our body increases by 1 atm for every 10 meters we descend. In other words, at the deepest point in the ocean, slightly under 11,000 meters, the pressure you would feel on your body would be 1100 times greater than what you experience in the open air. read more
