The deep sea anglerfish is one of about 200 species of anglerfish that are currently living in the deep oceans today (Animals Time). The definition of the word “anglerfish” means a fish having a large mouth with a long filament for luring prey. A synonym of the word anglerfish is goosefish (Dictionary). The scientific name is Melanocetus johnsoni (Seasky). The deep sea anglerfish belongs to the class of Lophiiformes (Animals Time). The deep sea anglerfish also has a nickname which is known as the
Fish that are found in the benthic part of the ocean are really interesting to me. Benthic means it's the lowest level in any body of water such as an ocean or a lake. Different organisms that live in this deep part of the ocean are called benthos. Some examples of benthos are starfish, sea cucumbers, oysters, and clams. There are many different geographies to the be if ocean such as trenches, mountains, and volcanoes. The benthos have their own food source which is called detritus. Detritus
Six: One of the Most Terrifying Sea Creatures - An Anglerfish Made famous from the Disney movie Finding Nemo, the anglerfish is quite a unique species. They are equipped with a unique organ that produces a small source of light to lure in unsuspecting fish, and snatch them up with their nightmarish teeth. What most people don’t know about these odd creatures is the sickening way in which they reproduce. The digestive system of the male anglerfish removes itself, and attaches to a female to feed.
dark red and the eyes are blue. Vampyroteuthis is also have the ability to turn itself inside-out. The snake dragon fish is known for one of the most forceful predator in the Bathypelagic zone. Similar to anglerfish, the snake dragon fish also use bioluminescence to attract prey.The anglerfish is the most well known in the Bathypelagic zone for its enormous mouth and a lure that is almost acting like a headlight. It not only have terrifying sharp long teeth on the jaws, but in its throat as well
physiology part of the male is his reproductive system, because of this if he does not find and latch onto a female he will die (Gagnon 2015, National Geographic). Because there is not a lot of light that is able to shine down to the depths of the anglerfish they must rely on specialized sensory organs to help them find their mate. Because it is extremely important for the male to find a mate, his sense of smell is heightened to help him smell chemical hormones that the females release in order (Gagnon
Dory. They finally escape from the shark and find a divine intervention, the mask of the scuba diver that captured Nemo. Their second threshold starts when Marlin and Dory lose the mask and they need to find it. While they look for the mask, an anglerfish which is the threshold guardian battles with them. Marlin and Dory
Water is essential for life, and occupies seventy one percent of the Earth's surface. Saltwater is more abundant in the world. Although, freshwater makes up about two percent of the Earth's surface and is what people drink, saltwater makes up over sixty eight percent of the Earth's surface and is much more compelling than freshwater. Even though, both salt bodies of water and fresh bodies of water are packed with life, mysteries, dangers, uses, and activities, salt bodies of water are more fascinating

predator or a prey stands to gain by its resemblance to a third party. An example of this form of mimicry is observed in anglerfishes. The anglerfish possesses a small mobile wormlike organ that it waves on a slender rod in front of other fishes. Small fishes who mistaken this lure for their own natural prey and therefore draw closer, are quickly eaten by the anglerfish. Bartesian Mimicry after Henry Bates, is another form of mimicry where a har... ... middle of paper ... ...s were able to live long
Part of the appeal of Stanton’s Finding Nemo (2003) is its admirable characters. However, one character, Marlin, behaves in a way that makes him particularly interesting to examine. Marlin’s story begins with the loss of his wife and children after his failed attempt to fight the barracuda who attacked them. The only other survivor is one of his sons, whom Marlin names Nemo and becomes immensely overprotective of. When Nemo grows up and is ready to attend school, Marlin is horrified to see as Nemo
The story of Finding Nemo is about how Marlin, a widowed clownfish travel thousands of miles to Sydney with the help of Dory, a blue tang fish who suffers from "short-term memory loss" to find Marlin's lost son, Nemo. The movie begins with Marlin and Coral, a lovely clownfish couple who are ready to be the parents of 400 unborn children. However, this happy home is destroyed by a marauding barracuda. Coral and 399 of her eggs are killed during the barracuda attack, leaving Marlin to look after the
The discoverer of the titanic, Dr Robert Ballard famously referred to the deep sea as ‘far more alien than going to mars or the moon.’ The deep sea is one of the largest virtually unexplored ecosystems on the planet; it is found at a depth of 1000 fathoms [1] and is subject to adverse changes in temperature, pressure and light penetration amongst other factors. Therefore as expected fish decrease in abundance, and species diversity. This trend is prominent as in order to survive the harsh conditions
Eating in Japan Eating in Japan is something every Gai-jin (foreigner) may look forward to; on the other hand, people with weak stomachs may want to consider eating certain foods before diving right into the Meso soup bowl of Japanese cuisine. There are many different types of Japanese food and all of the dishes are unique in their own way; however, Japan is a melting pot of culinary delight and one can find any and all kinds of Asian cuisine as well as foods from all parts of the world.
The Marine Ecosystem and its Life Matters Too!! About 70% of the earth is water and 96.5 of that water is said to be in the ocean [Climate Change, Para 1]. On earth there are many different ecosystems and each contains its own flora and fauna. Among the many ecosystems there is the aquatic ecosystem which includes: wetlands, rivers, lakes, estuaries and the ocean. The Ocean Biome also known as the Marine Biome, is one of the most unique ecosystems ever, because of the variety of life in the different
Although men and women have significant biological differences, the question whether gender-specific labels stems from these biological differences or are gender constructed remains a polarised nature versus nurture debate. Whether it is through the process of socialisation or genetic make-up, “gender identity” is given from a person’s birth, determining how a person culturally interacts and the expectations society places on them. Along with a “gender identity” comes a whole set of “norms”, “values”
