![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)

![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.

Die Krebslarve aus der Gattung Sergestes hat fein verästelte Antennen, die das Schweben in der freien Wassersäule ermöglichen. Ausgewachsene Sergestes-Krebse sind in der Lage, durch schwache Biolumineszenz (selbst produziertes Licht)an der Körperunterseite einen Schattenwurf im Dämmerlicht zu verhindern und sich somit vor den unter ihnen lauernden Fressfeinden zu tarnen. Die Intensität ihres Leuchtens wird dabei an die aktuell von oben einfallende Lichtmenge angepasst.](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000enZqsw1CEf8/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000enZqsw1CEf8.jpg)

![[M][Digital focus stacking] - Mantis shrimps belong to the Stomatopods, a group of the crustaceans. Stomatopods have larval stages as the one shown here, the so called alima larva, which moult by moult come closer and closer to the adult appearance. As long as they live in the plankton they remain transparent.
