According to the new york Daily News (165438+124 October), scientists in California captured this rare anglerfish with their cameras at a depth of about 2,000 feet in Monterey Submarine Canyon, which is the first time to photograph this kind of anglerfish in the wild.

The black anglerfish photographed by scientists this time is 3.5 inches long and moves at a depth of 2,000 feet. This anglerfish is secretive, so far, it has only been witnessed six times.

Bruce Robinson of Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute told San Jose Courier: It's unprecedented to photograph this live anglerfish at such a deep seabed.

Little is known about this anglerfish. It is reported that female anglerfish attract prey with the luminous body on their heads, and can even attack larger prey. Relatively speaking, the male anglerfish is much petite and lacks intestines to digest, so it usually needs to live in the female anglerfish to survive.

A rare spherical colored anglerfish is hidden deep in the waters of central California, USA.

A rare spherical colored anglerfish (Chaunacops coloratus) is hidden in the waters of central California, USA. Scientists use remote-controlled diving cameras to observe deep-sea fish species near the seabed of 3353 meters, and this mysterious anglerfish (also known as? ? ? ? In addition to red and blue discoloration, it can also "walk" on the seabed, which is quite special.

According to the website of National Geographic magazine, a living anglerfish was observed scientifically, and it happened that a anglerfish was floating and "walking" near a rock. Leenders Williams, a researcher at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), said, "We found that the larger anglerfish are all red, while the smaller ones tend to be blue, so we judged that they have a transitional body color from infancy to adulthood. He found purple (red and blue) fish among them, which should be a growing young anglerfish.

In particular, this anglerfish actually "walks" on the bottom of the sea. It uses pectoral fins and ventral fins to "walk" on the seabed. Scientists believe that this strange way of walking is more efficient than short-distance swimming, and it can also keep the surrounding waters from being greatly affected and increase their hunting opportunities.

It seems that anglerfish are not for sale. There is no report that it is cheap.
