Green teeth! Garfish (Belone) have weirdly high concentrations of the molecule biliverdin in their skeletons, giving their jaws this bizarre turquoise hue.

So tuna crabs are benthopelagic descendants of benthic taxa which have well developed eyes, two grasping appendages, and swim backwards through the water column, trailing their legs.
Tuna crabs are basically squid!

These guys are some of the coolest mesopelagic animals. That huge domed head is all just two massive compound eyes, and the transparent body is covered in nanometer-scale bumps that prevent sunlight from reflecting, making them disappear in their natural habitat.

Muting this so I don't get distracted but let me be clear - this is not at all an attack on fishers. Also, I am not a fisheries scientist, but I have a personal response to seeing a large apex predator killed which I more might share if they didn't think "oh that's just a fish".

Yep, in particular the creepy guys are usually midwater, i.e. they live in open water and not near the seafloor. I will say though, there are a few absolute freaks on the deep seafloor

Last week, I spent 5 days at the NHM, London, IDing deep sea fish and generally gawping at ichthyological oddities. I must confess, though, that I had an ulterior motive. In this thread I'm going tell you the whole story and show you the single coolest fish I've ever found! 1/

Certainly there are more damaging fishing methods - I just don’t necessarily agree with purposefully targeting large apex predators like this, it’s a pretty unsustainable food source.

Fun fact: the particular strain of wild apples from which all modern edible apples are descended is thought to have evolved to be big and sweet specifically to attract bears for seed dispersal, as opposed to other apples that exploit birds for the same purpose!

Also I was probably a little bit clumsy in comparing this to trophy hunting *in particular*, poaching could be a better analogy in that people are hunting wildlife to produce a high-value commodity, not for fun (though sport angling for tunas is also a common practice)

Huh! This is a fanfish (genus Pteraclis), a widespread pelagic genus of pomfret, but they look really weird without the characteristic massive fins. The bases of the fins look really hypertrophied, and that scale texture is odd, I thought they were some really janky lamprid!

Does anyone have any idea why red pigmentation, which is a common camouflage strategy in midwater inverts, is so comparatively rare in fishes? Off the dome, only whalefishes have it. Plenty of shallow water & benthic red fish, so I can't see it as a phylogenetic constraint?

🌊 Last weekend, some lucky kayakers and snorkelers came across a rare deep-sea dwelling fish in La Jolla Cove. The seagoers spotted a 12-foot

and to give you an idea of how rare this encounter is, only 20 oarfish have washed up in California since 1901!

What a gorgeous little clip exhibiting the jet propulsion used by frogfish. Most bony fish breathe through "buccal pumping", taking water into the mouth and expelling it through the opercular openings, but you can really see how they're adapted into a squid-like siphon here!
