Framed Print of Hatchetfish (Argyropelecus sp.)

Hatchetfishes are mesopelagic fishes which are laterally compressed. They have photophores on their ventral surfaces to eliminate their silhouette from predators looking upward from below. This "hide in plain sight tactic is known as counterillumination. This Hatchetfish (Argyropelecus sp) can be found to depths of ~2, 500 meters. This individual was captured in a trawl between 600 and 200 meters depth in the Gulf of Mexico, 2016. Image courtesy of the DEEPEND project. © Dante Fenolio / Science Source
