EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from "The Feeding Mechanisms of a Deep Sea Fish" by V.V. Tchernavin (1953), we witness the main movements of the anterior part of the body and head of the Chauliodus, also known as the barbeled dragonfish or loosjaw stargazer, during the process of catching and swallowing large prey. This deep-sea fish, belonging to the order Stomiiformes and family Stomiidae, is renowned for its unique feeding behavior. The Chauliodus is depicted in an anterior view, revealing the intricacies of its feeding mechanism. With its large, protrusible mouth and piercing teeth, it waits motionless on the ocean floor, camouflaged against the dark background. Suddenly, it detects the presence of prey using its highly sensitive lateral line system and strikes with lightning speed. The illustration captures the moment just before deglutition, or the act of swallowing, as the fish's jaws close around the prey, and the anterior part of its body begins to move in a wave-like motion to help push the food down its esophagus. The Chauliodus's loose lower jaw and elongated gullet enable it to swallow prey much larger than itself. The illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the complex feeding mechanism of this deep-sea fish, which has adapted to survive in the extreme conditions of the ocean depths. The Chauliodus, with its prehistoric appearance and extraordinary abilities, continues to fascinate scientists and marine enthusiasts alike.
