The Anglerfish
The deep sea Anglerfish is one of the most bizarre-looking and best-known creatures of the deep. It is one of about 200 species of anglerfish found throughout the world's oceans. The angler gets its name from the elongated dorsal spine that supports a light-producing organ known as a photophore. Through a chemical process known as bioluminescence, this photophore can produce a blue-green light similar to that of a firefly on land. The fish uses this appendage like a fishing lure, waving it back and forth to attract its prey.

Adaptations

  • Luminous bacteria that live in the tip of the "fishing rod" provide light that attracts prey
  • Unlike other fish, pectoral fin has muscles, providing more control over its position
  • due to the darkness of their habitat, angler fish rely on sensory organs, (rows of white dots) that detect very small movements in the water.

Bioluminescence

There are over200 species of angler fish which belongs to the order Lophiiformes, the majority of deep sea anglers share a symbiotic relationship with bioluminescent bacteria. Bioluminescence, meaning "living light" is generated by specialised bacteria as a result of chemical reactions
