A deep-sea anglerfish, with its mouthful of sharp teeth, was spotted near the surface of the water near the Canary Islands off the coast of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/category\/africa\">Africa<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">The videos and pictures were taken by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/condrik_tenerife\/\">Condrik Tenerife<\/a> a Spanish NGO that researches sharks and rays in the Canary Islands and marine photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jara.natura\/\">David Jara Borgu\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">According to the organization, the fish is a so-called &#8220;black seadevil&#8221; known by its scientific name Melanocetus johnsonii. They typically swim between 650 and 6,500 feet below the ocean&#8217;s surface.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">This range is known as the Bathypelagic Zone or midnight zone. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/category\/noaa\">NOAA<\/a>, the temperature there remains constant \u2013 around 39 degrees \u2013 because sunlight is unable to penetrate water at that depth. Water pressure can climb over 5,850 pounds per square inch.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">The research team said there have been very few sightings of this kind of fish, and they aren&#8217;t sure why she was so far from the depths of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/category\/ocean\">ocean<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/earth-space\/rare-pictures-never-before-seen-fish-deep-sea-australia\"><strong>NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN FISH FOUND MORE THAN 3 MILES UNDER THE SEA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">Only female deep-sea anglerfish have the characteristic lure on the front of their face, according to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">According to the museum, the bioluminescent lure is the main way anglerfish catch their prey as it is one of the few light sources in the depths of the ocean.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">&#8220;To date, records have mostly consisted of larvae, dead adults, or specimens spotted by submarines during deep-sea scientific expeditions,&#8221; Condrik Tenerife wrote online, underscoring how rare this sighting was.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">In their social media post, the research team said the find, &#8220;will be remembered forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/earth-space\/deep-sea-anglerfish-spotted-shallow-water-africa\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A deep-sea anglerfish was spotted on a rare trip into shallow waters off the coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands (David Jara Boguna\/Condrik Tenerife via Storyful).
