Video shows black Seaadevil fish, usually only found in the abyssic depths of the sea, making a rare swim near the ocean surface
In what may first be recorded in the world, the Black Seaadevil- fish Known for living thousands of feet below the ocean surface where light is no longer touched – she was caught on the camera that she swam near the ocean surface. The shots shot in the Spanish Canary Islands show women’s fish, whose name of Latin refers to the “Black Sea monster”, swimming through the light filled with the ocean waters along the Tenerife coast.
The discovery was made by NGOs Condrik Tenerife and photographer Marine Life David Jara Boguñá while exploring sharks. In a Common Instagram postThe organization and Boguñá said the fish was coming out of the abyss about 1.2 miles from the Tenerife coast in Spain.
Once they were approaching, they realized that it was a hump of fishing, a type of black Seadevil fish similar to what was shown in Disney’s animated movie “Find Nis”. Rod in his Latin name for a kind, Melanocetus Johnsoniiin the translation “Montenegrin Monster”.
“This could be the first view of the vision in the world of adults of the black devil or Abyssal fish (melanocetus Johnsonii) alive, in daylight and on the surface,” said in their post Boguñá and Condrik Tenerife, adding that the record has been in charge so far Only larvae or dead adults, and the only live views were recorded through a submarine. “… a legendary fish that few people will have a privilege to observe alive,” the post states.
The researchers described the fish as a “true depth predator”, characterization that is true.
Black Seaadevils can live up to 15,000 feet below the ocean surface, and humps of fishing have been reported, which especially lives deep as about 6,500 feet under the sea, according to researchers. Such depth is known as the Bathypelagic zone, or “”Midnight zone“Where animals live in a permanent darkness and the only light comes from bioluminescence.
Women’s black seadvilles, like the one who is documented, will attract prey with a rod -like structure that has a tip that lights up in the dark. As it is shown in “finding Nemo”, the prey attracts light, and when they approach, the fish can eat them.
Female humps of fish are more powerful than gender in this species, which become far greater than their male colleagues. They can grow to 7 centimeters and take a more iconic look with a large head with pointed teeth and bioluminescent baits, while males grow only about inches long and have no mom Australian Museum.
Researchers are not sure why this female found her way in such lightly filled and shallow waters. They said it could be due to illness, elevation, or perhaps escaping from a predator. But what they know is that the observation was “surprising”.
“[It] They didn’t leave the crew indifferent and they would stay forever, “they said.
