Hadopelagic (the deep water in ocean trenches) - the name is derived from Hades, the classical Greek underworld.
The bathypelagic, abyssopelagic, and hadopelagic zones are very similar in character, and some marine biologists elide them into a single zone or consider the latter two to be the same.
Some define the hadopelagic as waters below 6000 meters, whether in a trench or not.

 Marine Zones - MarineBio.org
The epipelagic zone stretches from the surface down to 200 meters and is home to the greatest biodiversity in the sea, largely because of the availability of sunlight that enables photosynthetic organisms to thrive.
The hadopelagic zone is the area of deep water in the deepest ocean trenches.
Hadopelagic is from the Greek for "Hades", or the Greek underworld.

 The Open Ocean - MarineBio.org
Separated into epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic and hadopelagic subzones, areas in the pelagic zone are distinguished by their depth and the ecology of the zone.
The deepest subzone is the hadopelagic zone, a name that originates from the Greek underworld Hades and refers to the ocean water in submarine trenches.
There are only a few organisms adapted to survive in the abyssopelagic zone, a subzone located from 4,000 m to the bottom with freezing temperatures and incredible pressures.

This zone is 90% unknown and very few species are known to live here (in the open areas).
However, many organisms live in hydrothermal vents in this and other zones.
Some define the hadopelagic as waters below 6000 meters, whether in a trench or not.

The equilibrium would no doubt be quite different under the high pressure conditions in the deep ocean.
The resulting environmental effects on benthic life forms of the bathypelagic, abyssopelagic and hadopelagic zones are unknown.
Even though life appears to be rather sparse in the deep ocean basins, energy and chemical effects in these deep basins could have far-reaching implications.

The ocean pelagic habitat has been divided vertically into five zones:
epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic, and hadopelagic (Hedgepeth, 1957).
The latter zone occupies a small fraction of the ocean volume and is present in the Atlantic Ocean’s Puerto Rico Trench (8400 m).

The pressure is enormous, up to 1,000 times that on the surface.
These dark waters include the bathypelagic (1,000-4,000m), abyssopelagic (4,000m to the ocean floor) and hadopelagic (water in ocean trenches) zones.
Despite the fact that 60% of our planet is covered by water over 1,600m deep, we know very little about pelagic and other deep-sea life.

 Deep-sea creatures - Sea-floor life - Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand
Biologists refer to species dwelling on the sea floor at any depth as benthic organisms or ‘the benthos’.
Fish are common in benthic communities in the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones, but there are none on the deeper sea floors of the abyssopelagic and hadopelagic zones.
Energy is in scarce supply here, deriving mainly from falling food that has made it past all the waiting mouths above.

The deepest known fish in the oceans are brotulids Abyssobrotula found in trenches at over 8000 m and thus in the Hadal or Hadopelagic zone.
The record appears to be an Abyssobrotula galatheae at 8372m in the Puerto Rico trench (thanks to Ruben Pohl for this information).
