During recent dives by the crewed submersible Shinkai 6500 in abyssal depths on the landward slope of the Japan Trench (5343-5379 m), five gastropod and four bivalve species were collected from seep environments. The gastropods include a recently described species in the Neomphalidae, two new species in the Provannidae, a single species in the Buccinidae, and a new species in the Cancellariidae. Bivalves are represented by a single species of the Solemyidae, a single species of the Thyasiridae and two species of the Vesicomyidae, the most of which were previously described from greater depths in the same trench.
