![Many female olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) are swimming from the open ocean towards the beach of Ostional, Costa Rica, Pacific Ocean to gather for an arribada (mass nesting event). They are not very shy and curiously probe the photographer's equipment. They feed on a broad selection of floating organism - and unfortunately may as well bite into or even swallow plastic depris or fishing hooks. [size of single organism: 80 cm] | Schwimmende Oliv-Bastardschildkröten (Lepidochelys olivacea) sind nicht sehr scheu und nähern sich neugierig unbekannten Objekten. Offenbar sind sie in Bezug auf Nahrung durchaus experimentierfreudig. Das daraus resultierende breite Beutespektrum mag ihnen zugute kommen – fataler Weise führt es aber auch dazu, dass sie große Mengen an Plastikmüll oder auch Angelköder mit Haken verschlucken und häufig daran zu Grunde gehen.

![The zoea (zoeal pl.) is a free-swimming larval stage of crustaceans. It follows the nauplius stage, and precedes the post-larva. Zoea larvae swim with their thoracic appendages (as opposed to nauplii, which use cephalic appendages, and megalopa which use abdominal appendages for swimming). It often has spikes on its carapace which may assist these small organisms in maintaining directional swimming [1]. In many decapods, due to their accelerated development, the zoea is the first larval stage. In some cases the zoea stage is followed by the mysis stage and in others by the megalopa stage, depending of the crustacean group involved. [size of single organism: 1 mm]](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000aDDMi96zj6M/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000aDDMi96zj6M.jpg)
![[Digital focus stacking] Compound eyes from Blue Darner (Aeshna cyanea) dragonfly. A compound eye may consist of thousands of individual photoreceptor units or ommatidia (ommatidium, singular). The image perceived is a combination of inputs from the numerous ommatidia (individual "eye units"), which are located on a convex surface, thus pointing in slightly different directions. | Als Facetten-, Fassetten- oder Komplexauge oder oculi compositi bezeichnet man den häufig bei Gliederfüßern vorkommenden Augentyp, bei dem ein Auge sich aus mehreren, bei bestimmten Insekten wie z. B. den Libellen sogar aus mehreren zehntausend Ommatidien (Einzelaugen) zusammensetzt.](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000vIuWpcg.5m0/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000vIuWpcg.5m0.jpg)
![Female Toothed seadevil (Neoceratias spinifer) with male attached. Sexual Parasitism in Ceratioid Anglerfishes.In some ceratioid taxa, the male's attachment to the female is followed by fusion of epidermal and dermal tissues and, eventually, by a connection of the circulatory systems so that the male becomes permanently dependent on the female for blood-transported nutrients, while the host female becomes a kind of self-fertilizing hermaphrodite. Neoceratiidae (subclass Actinopterygii, order Lophiiformes) A monospecific family (Neoceratias spinifer) of small (6 cm long), deep-sea fish that have a large head, a large mouth, and small eyes. The jaws are equipped with many long and slender teeth. The single dorsal, caudal, and anal fins have a rounded profile, while the pectorals are small. No illicium is present. Females are larger than males; males may form a parasitic relationship with their female sex partners. They are found in all oceans.. Permanent attachment is usually accomplished by means of separate outgrowths from the snout and tip of the lower jaw of the male, both of which eventually fuse with the skin of the female. In some species a papilla of female tissue protrudes into the mouth of the male, sometimes appearing to completely occlude the pharynx. The heads of some males become broadly fused to the skin of the female, extending from the tip of the lower jaw to the rear of the skull, appearing as if embedded or absorbed by their mate, while in others, the male is carried at the tip of an elongate, cylindrical stalk of female tissue. ..Increasing considerably in size once fused, their volume becoming much greater than free-living males of the same species, and being otherwise completely unable to acquire nutrients on their own, the males are considered to be parasites.

![[captive] Deep Sea Amphipod (Cystisoma neptuni) has a transparent body, with the exception of the stomach and its compound eyes. They may feed on on soft-bodied animals. “See and NOT be seen” seems to be the life motto of the deep-sea amphipod Cystisoma neptuni. The segments of its highly-specialised compound eyes collect rays of light in crystalline cones and lead them to the tips of light-guiding tubes that are connected to the optic nerves. Its transparent body prevents the crustacean from being detected and caught by predators. It is only visible thanks to the special lightning in my photo aquarium. | Amphipode (Cystisoma neptuni) (Flohkrebs)](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000_sOZIzOnEnk/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000_sOZIzOnEnk.jpg)
![Male deep-sea anglerfish. Common among deep-sea anglerfish is the strong sexual dimorphism in melanocetids: while females may reach a length of 18 centimetres or more, males remain under 3 centimetres. After a larval and adolescent free-living stage, they spend the rest of their life parasitically attached to a female. [size of single organism: 20 cm] | Tiefseeanglerfische männchen. Dieses ca. 2 cm große Exemplar gehört zu der Gruppe der Tiefseeanglerfische. Es gibt einen starken sexuellen Dimorphismus. Während Weibchen eine Länge von 18 oder mehr Zentimeter erreichen können, bleiben Männchen bei Längen von unter drei Zentimetern. Nach der Metamorphose von der Fischlarve in das adulte Tier beginnt das Männchen mit Hilfe seiner Augen und des gut ausgebildeten Geruchssinnes ein Weibchen zu finden. Hat es eines erreicht, beißt es sich an diesem fest, die Kiefer des Männchens bilden sich danach zurück und die Haut beider Tiere verwächst, ebenso die Blutgefäße. Bis auf die Kiemen werden alle Organsysteme reduziert und die Ernährung erfolgt anschließend nur noch über den Blutkreislauf des Weibchens.](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000fO4STMVyA7A/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000fO4STMVyA7A.jpg)
![The deep sea viperfish (Chauliodus sloani) is approx. 30 cm long and lives within the upper 1000 m of the water column. During day they prefer deeper water layers while they actively ascend at night. Their numerous light emitting organs help on the one hand to attract prey, on the other hand they serve as a camouflage when seen from below against the light coming in from the surface. Its enormous teeth enable the viperfish to securely grab its prey. This is essential as in the deep sea encounters are very rare and each chance has to be taken. However, if the viperfish bites a prey item that is too big to be swallowed, the inward-bent teeth make it impossible to let go, which may well mean the end to both parties involved. [size of single organism: 27 cm] | Die ca. 30 cm langen Vipernfische (Chauliodus sloani) leben meist in den oberen 1000 m der Wassersäule, wobei sie tagsüber in größeren Tiefen zu finden sind und nachts aktiv aufsteigen. Sie haben zahlreiche Leuchtorgane, die einerseits der Tarnung im Gegenlicht dienen, andererseits aber auch Beutetiere anlocken können. Da Begegnungen mit größeren Beutetieren in der Tiefsee selten sind, kann der Vipernfisch es sich laum leisten, eine Chance zu vergeuden. Daher haben diese Fische furchteinflößend lange Zähne entwickelt, um ein sicheres Zupacken zu ermöglichen.](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000xEKZPeOEuU8/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000xEKZPeOEuU8.jpg)
