    Drone fishing - Rod fishing assisted by a drone, the drone can be a flying type or underwater type, it can be remote controlled by a human, computer, AI or a combination of the three simultaneously. The drone is used to scout for fish via camera, carry the hook to a far off location, cast the hook, reel in the fish and return.

  3. Anglerfish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglerfish

    Most adult female ceratioid anglerfish have a luminescent organ called the esca at the tip of a modified dorsal ray (the illicium or fishing rod; derived from Latin ēsca, "bait"). The organ has been hypothesized to serve the purpose of luring prey in dark, deep-sea environments, but also serves to call males' attention to the females to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadal_zone

    Historically, the hadal zone was not recognized as distinct from the abyssal zone, although the deepest sections were sometimes called "ultra-abyssal".During the early 1950s, the Danish Galathea II and Soviet Vityaz expeditions separately discovered a distinct shift in the life at depths of 6,000–7,000 m (20,000–23,000 ft) not recognized by the broad definition of the abyssal zone.

  6. Deep-sea fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-sea_fish

    The mesopelagic zone is the disphotic zone, meaning light there is minimal but still measurable. The oxygen minimum layer exists somewhere between a depth of 700 metres (2,297 ft) and 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) deep depending on the place in the ocean. This area is also where nutrients are most abundant.

  7. Barreleye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barreleye

    Barreleyes inhabit moderate depths, from the mesopelagic to bathypelagic zone, circa 400–2,500 m deep. They are presumably solitary and do not undergo diel vertical migrations ; instead, barreleyes remain just below the limit of light penetration and use their sensitive, upward-pointing tubular eyes—adapted for enhanced binocular vision at ...

  8. Fathom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fathom

    A deep-sea lead, the heaviest of sounding leads, was used in water exceeding 100 fathoms in depth. [21] This technique has been superseded by sonic depth finders for measuring mechanically the depth of water beneath a ship, one version of which is the Fathometer (trademark). [22] The record made by such a device is a fathogram. [23]

  9. Electrofishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrofishing

    Electrofishing by boat. There are three types of electrofishers: backpack models, tote barge models, and boat mounted models, sometimes called a stunboat. [2]Backpack electrofisher generators are either battery or gasoline powered.
