Deep-sea organisms generally inhabit bathypelagic (1,000–4,000 metres (3,281–13,123 ft) deep) and abyssopelagic (4,000–6,000 metres (13,123–19,685 ft) deep) zones. However, characteristics of deep-sea organisms, such as bioluminescence can be seen in the mesopelagic (200–1,000 metres (656–3,281 ft) deep) zone as well. The ...
Ceratioidei, the deep-sea anglerfishes or pelagic anglerfishes, is a suborder of marine ray-finned fishes, one of four suborders in the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes. These fishes are found in tropical and temperate seas throughout the world. The deep-sea anglerfishes exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism. The males are many times smaller ...
Stomiidae is a family of deep-sea ray-finned fish, including the barbeled dragonfishes.They are quite small, usually around 15 cm, up to 26 cm. These fish are apex predators and have enormous jaws filled with fang-like teeth. [1]
Marine hatchetfishes or deep-sea hatchetfishes are small deep-sea mesopelagic ray-finned fish of the stomiiform subfamily Sternoptychinae. They should not be confused with the freshwater hatchetfishes , which are not particularly closely related Teleostei in the characiform family Gasteropelecidae.

Brine pools are commonly found below polar sea ice and in the deep ocean. This below-sea ice forms through a process called brine rejection . [ 1 ] For deep-sea brine pools, salt is necessary to increase the salinity gradient.
Trichiurus lepturus Argyrosomus regius Pristipomoides filamentosus. Red Sea benthopelagic species include: . Aetobatus flagellum , Longheaded eagle ray, Myliobatidae; Aetobatus ocellatus , Myliobatidae
In zoology, deep-sea gigantism or abyssal gigantism is the tendency for species of deep-sea dwelling animals to be larger than their shallower-water relatives across a large taxonomic range. Proposed explanations for this type of gigantism include necessary adaptation to colder temperature, food scarcity, reduced predation pressure and ...
