![Sargassum Fish (Histrio histrio) near the surface on floating Sargassum Weed, Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia, Pacific Ocean [ Sargassum fish (Histrio histrio)<br />
This anglerfish commonly occurs in the open sea and is closely associated with the floating Sargassum Weed. It is perfectly disguised in carpets of sea weed where it waits for prey organisms that actually seek shelter there. A patch of Sargassum Weed was floating by our boat after one of our dives near Raja Ampat and we jumped back into the water to look for the fish. The main challenge in photographing this animal really was to find it. It took many people and a lot of time to finally find one – although we were systematically looking for it. This animal has the size of a fist and was very well hidden in large algae carpets of 10 m x 15 m. ] | Sargassum Anglerfisch (Histrio histrio) nahe der Oberfläche auf treibendem Sargassotang, Raja Ampat, Westpapua, Indonesien, Pazifischer Ozean [ Sargassum Fisch (Histrio histrio)<br />
Dieser Anglerfisch kommt häufig im offenen Meer vor und ist eng mit dem treibenden Sargassotang verbunden. Er ist perfekt in Algenmatten getarnt, wo er auf Beutetiere wartet, die tatsächlich dort Schutz suchen. Ein Fleck Sargassotang trieb an unserem Boot vorbei nach einem unserer Tauchgänge in der Nähe von Raja Ampat und wir sprangen zurück ins Wasser, um nach dem Fisch zu suchen. Die Hauptaufgabe beim Fotografieren dieses Tieres war wirklich, es zu finden. Es brauchte viele Leute und viel Zeit, um endlich einen zu finden - obwohl wir systematisch danach suchten. Dieses Tier hat die Größe einer Faust und war sehr gut in großen Algenmatten von 10 m x 15 m versteckt. ]](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000Wi5.d8teRHI/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000Wi5.d8teRHI.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)
![[captive] The deep sea hatchetfish (Argyropelecus olfersi), distinguished by its upward-looking eyes, possesses numerous photophores under its body. These photophores emit light that is directed downward through light-guides, likely serving as counterillumination to camouflage the fish from predators below. This remarkable adaptation showcases the creature's survival strategies in the deep sea. Found in the Atlantic Ocean near Cape Verde, this species highlights the diversity of marine life. | Der Silberbeil, Beilfisch oder Tiefsee-Hatchetfisch (Argyropelecus olfersi), erkennbar an seinen nach oben gerichteten Augen, besitzt zahlreiche Photophoren unter seinem Körper.
