![[captive] Lepidophanes guentheri, a species of the large group of lanternfish (or myctophid, family Myctophidae, 246 species, mykter = Greek for ‘nose’ and ophis for ‘serpent‘) shows a pattern of paired light-producing cells (photophores) located along the ventral sides and at the head. They serve to mask the fish by counterillumination and are used in intraspecific communication (shoaling, courtship). This rather small deep sea fish species (adult approx. 8 cm) performs diurnal vertical migrations: during daylight hours it can be found at depths of > 400m, at night it ascends to < 100 m. Its habitat is therefore the mesopelagic (or twilight) zone. The widely distributed and numerous species of the family of lanternfish account for a great part of the overall biomass of deep sea fish: about 65%. As such they play an important ecological role as prey species for all kinds of larger marine vertebrates (fish, sea birds, marine mammals).

![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)
