The anglerfish uses a shiny lure to bring prey within range of its sharp teeth. But it also has a weirdly clingy side — after finding a female, the male black devil angler latches on and never lets go!

The Anglerfish - Deep Sea Monster
One look at this fish, and you want to forget all about it, let alone learn some interesting facts about it. However, if you are still here, we are going to talk about what many consider to be the ugliest animal on Earth. Meet the anglerfish!
Most anglerfish are less than a foot long, but some can be up to 1 meter in length! Living at depths of at least 2,000 meters, this species lives its life in the complete absence of sunlight. Anglerfishes, in general, are named for the modified dorsal fin spine that they use to lure prey.
Life in the deep sea is difficult, so many fishes there have special adaptations to improve their ability to feed and to mate.
The deep sea anglerfish’s lure is filled with bacteria that make their own light. Using a muscular skin flap, a deep sea anglerfish can e...

The anglerfish: The original approach to deep-sea fishing
Deep-sea anglerfish are strange and elusive creatures that are very rarely observed in their natural habitat. Fewer than half a dozen have ever been captured on film or video by deep diving research vehicles. This little angler, about 9 cm long, is named Melanocetus. It is also known as the Black Seadevil and it lives in the deep dark waters of the Monterey Canyon. MBARI's ROV Doc Ricketts observed this anglerfish for the first time at 600 meters on a midwater research expedition in November 2014. We believe that this is the first video footage ever made of this species alive and at depth.
Watch a video about a different type of anglerfish observed by ROV Doc Ricketts for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl_MbvSUvTk&list=UUFXww6CrLAHhyZQCDnJ2g2A

One look at this fish, and you want to forget all about it, let alone learn some interesting facts about it. However, if you are still here, we are going to talk about what many consider to be the ugliest animal on Earth. Meet the anglerfish!
Most anglerfish are less than a foot long, but some can be up to 1 meter in length! Living at depths of at least 2,000 meters, this species lives its life in the complete absence of sunlight. Anglerfishes, in general, are named for the modified dorsal fin spine that they use to lure prey.
Life in the deep sea is difficult, so many fishes there have special adaptations to improve their ability to feed and to mate.
The deep sea anglerfish’s lure is filled with bacteria that make their own light. Using a muscular skin flap, a deep sea anglerfish can either hide or reveal its lighted lure. By pulsing the light and moving the lure back and forth, they successfully attract pelagic crustaceans, fishes, and other prey.
The jaw and stomach of the anglerfish can extend to allow it to consume prey up to twice its size. Because of the small amount of food available in the anglerfish's environment this adaptation allows the anglerfish to store food when there is an abundance.
The lure is also used to attract a mate. The male, which is significantly smaller than the female, has no need for such an adaptation. In lieu of continually seeking the vast abyss for a female, it has evolved into a permanent parasitic mate. When a young, free-swimming male angler encounters a female, he latches onto her with his sharp teeth. Over time, the male physically fuses with the female, connecting to her skin and bloodstream and losing his eyes and all his internal organs except the testes. A female will carry six or more males on her body.
They Can Swim Fast If They Want To.
Once they do decide to swim, they can reach speeds of up to 6 cm per second, which is considered to be notably fast. They are also known to swim sometimes inverted, with their “angler” hanging downwards, which is a method of enticing their prey.
Deep sea anglerfish are not eaten by people, and there is no evidence to suggest that people have any negative affects on their populations. They are likely naturally rare, however, and any changes to the deep-sea environment could threaten this interesting species.

Deep-sea anglerfish are strange and elusive creatures that are very rarely observed in their natural habitat. Fewer than half a dozen have ever been captured on film or video by deep diving research vehicles. This little angler, about 9 cm long, is named Melanocetus. It is also known as the Black Seadevil and it lives in the deep dark waters of the Monterey Canyon. MBARI's ROV Doc Ricketts observed this anglerfish for the first time at 600 meters on a midwater research expedition in November 2014. We believe that this is the first video footage ever made of this species alive and at depth.

Deep-sea anglerfish are strange and elusive creatures that are very rarely observed in their natural habitat. Fewer than half a dozen have ever been captured on film or video by deep diving research vehicles. This little angler, about 9 cm long, is named Melanocetus.
