Thermarces cerberus is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Zoarcidae. This fish, commonly known as the pink vent fish, is associated with hydrothermal vents and cold seeps at bathypelagic depths in the East Pacific.
This proliferation of Rh1 genes may help deep-sea fish to see in the depths of the ocean. Also, to avoid predation, many species are dark to blend in with their environment. [21] Many deep-sea fish are bioluminescent, with extremely large eyes adapted to the dark. Bioluminescent organisms are capable of producing light biologically through the ...
Sebastes tosaceus may be found as far north as Puget Sound in Washington [1] but its main distribution is from central California [7] to Guerrero Negro in Baja California Sur. [6] This is a demersal fish which can be found at depths between 15 and 128 m (49 and 420 ft), although more usual between 30 and 46 m (98 and 151 ft). [ 1 ]
A centimetre of water [1] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 cm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 cmH 2 O (4°C) = 999.9720 kg/m 3 × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 cm = 98.063754138 Pa ≈ 98.0638 Pa, but conventionally a nominal maximum water density of 1000 kg/m 3 is used, giving ...
Enypniastes [a] is a genus of deep-sea sea cucumber.It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Enypniastes eximia.Due to its unique appearance, the species has been dubbed the headless chicken fish, headless chicken monster, and the Spanish dancer.
Deep-sea lizardfish resemble shallow-water lizardfishes, as reflected in their common names. Adults reach over 70 cm in length, and have a slender, cylindrical body. Their lizard-like bony head is flattened, unlike in most fishes, and an enormous mouth is filled with multiple series of long, sharp and needle like teeth for piercing and trapping ...
