MBARI Senior Scientist (and former UCSB researcher) Bruce Robinson came across this fish at a depth of about 1900ft. He explains:

This is the first time we’ve captured this fish on video in its habitat. Anglerfish, like this Melanocetus, are among the most rarely seen of all deep-sea fishes. The shining spot at the tip of the ‘fishing pole’ projecting from the fish’s head is a glowing lure. The anglerfish uses its light to attract prey in its deep, dark habitat.
