Framed Print of Half-naked Hatchetfish (Argyropelecus hemigymnus)
Hatchetfishes are mesopelahgic fishes which are laterally compressed. They have photophores on their ventral surfaces to eliminate their silhouette from predators looking upward from below. This "hide in plain sight tactic is known as counterillumination. The Half-naked Hatchetfish (Argyropelecus hemigymnus) can be found to depths of 2, 400 meters. This individual was captured in a trawl between 600 and 200 meters depth in the Gulf of Mexico, 2016. Image courtesy of the DEEPEND project. © Dante Fenolio / Science Source
