![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)
![Melanocetus murrayi is a fish that has several English names: black deep-sea angler, Murray’s abyssal anglerfish or deepsea blackdevil . It usually lives at depths between 1000 and 2500 m, but has also been found more than 6000 m below the surface. This anglerfish is distributed in all oceans to latitudes of 65°. The typical feature of anglerfishes is a fleshy process near the mouth with bioluminescence bacteria. This is used as a lure to attract prey in the dark of the deep sea. Despite its monstrous appearance this female fish only grows up to a size of 12 cm. The male reaches a maximum length of 2 cm and lives parasitic, attached to a female.- Preserved specimen. This picture was taken in cooperation with the Zoological Museum University of Hamburg [size of single organism: 8 cm] | Tiefseeangler (Melanocetus murrayi) Das Bild entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Zoologischen Museum Hamburg (ZMH); ZMH 121784 (ISH 149-1983); 12.06.1983; 16°26'W, 46°8'N; Walther Herwig, 59, St. 2 Hol2, MT 1600; 1000 m](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000hMmqSl1xrfM/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000hMmqSl1xrfM.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.

![An alciopid polychaete everting its proboscis. In english, it's a worm sticking out its throat which have jaws at the end for grabbing dinner. The eye of Vanadis minuta is about 1mm in diameter, including photosensory cells and distinct lens. The photoreceptors are about 80 µm long and 6µm in diameter, and formed of microvilli. Wals and Rayport (1977) detemined the spectral sensitivity from the electroretinogram (ERG) of eyes of Torrea candida, a surface worm, and Vanadis, found in the deep sea, and concluded that they have image-resolving eyes. Therefore, highly developed imaging eyes evolved in annelid polychaetes. Vanadis [size of single organism: 10 cm] | Dieser Wurm mit dem wissenschaftlichen Namen Vanadis minuta gehört zu den Anneliden (Ringelwürmern) und ist damit ein entfernter Verwandter des Regenwurmes. Aber als Polychaet (Vielborster) ist er zusätzlich mit zahlreichen breiten Ruderborsten ausgestattet, mit denen er sich durch das freie Wasser bewegen kann. Der ausstülpbare Rüssel vor den roten Agen dient dem Beutefang. Die ca. 1mm großen Augen sind erstaunlich hoch entwickelt und ermöglichen dem Wurm vermutlich sogar eine Wahrnehmung in Bildern.](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000NdK9VC469R0/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000NdK9VC469R0.jpg)
