There are many kinds of fish on the seabed. Different sea areas have different depths on the seabed, so the types of fish are also different. There are four common types of deep-sea fish:

1. Piper fish

This fish usually lives on the seabed at a depth of 2-500 meters below the sea surface. Its appearance is very strange. The body is mostly conical, the head is relatively large, the mouth has a large number of fangs, the body is soft and there are no fish scales. It has a fleshy protrusion on its head, which is shaped like a lantern and can emit light, so it is also called lantern fish.

2. Skate

There are many types of rays, which are found in most water areas around the world. The body shapes vary greatly, from the smallest to only 50 centimeters, to the large ones. Up to 8 meters. This fish usually lives on the seabed. Its body is flat and diamond-shaped, its pectoral fins look like a pair of wings, and its eyes protrude to allow them to observe things around them.

3. Blobfish

The blobfish is rarely discovered by humans because this fish lives on the seabed at 1,200 meters. Its whole body is gelatinous and its length is about 30 centimeters. It has no swim bladder. In order for it to maintain buoyancy, its body structure is also different from that of ordinary fish, and its density is smaller than that of water.

4. Opisthophorus

Opisthorbus is a deep-sea fish with a body length of about 10 centimeters. The biggest feature of this fish is that its head is exposed and its tail fin is divided. It is in two parts, with a brown body and black eyes. In order to adapt to the environment of the deep sea, its eyes are large and can capture tiny lights, which is beneficial to prey and escape.

Characteristics of deep-sea fish

Due to the huge water pressure in the deep-sea environment, the bones of fish become very thin and easy to bend; the muscle tissue becomes particularly flexible and the fibrous tissue becomes Surprisingly detailed.
