How do aquariums simulate the pressure of being deep underwater for deep-sea fish?

If a fish lives 4000 or even 1000-2000 meters underwater, how do aquariums simulate the pressure of that without having the exhibit be actually that deep? Or are the fish able to adapt to the lower pressure environments?
