무시무시한 생김새를 가진 심해어 '앵글러피쉬'가 사상 최초로 카메라에 잡혔다.

 

몬테레이 베이 수족관 측은 캘리포니아 연안의 수심 약 600m 지점에서 원격 탐사로봇을

이용해 '앵글러피쉬'를 근접 촬영하는 데 성공했다며 이 영상을 유튜브에 공개했다.

 

아귀과의 앵글러피쉬는 머리 앞에 달린 기다란 촉수로 작은 물고기를 낚은 뒤 날카로운

이빨로 잡아먹는다. 그야말로 심해의 악마다.

A rarely seen fish that resembles a severed head with a huge mouthful of fangs has been captured on video in its natural, deep-sea habitat for the first time.

 

The female “black sea devil” anglerfish was filmed 580 metres below the surface of the ocean on Nov. 17 using a remote-controlled robotic submarine by researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California.

 

As of Monday morning, the video of a female “black sea devil” anglerfish has already been watched 1.4 million since it was posted on YouTube three days earlier.

Anglerfish are monstrous-looking deep-sea predators named and known for a worm-like appendage on their heads that emits light. The fish waves the lure around in order entice prey into their gaping mouths.

 

According to the research institute, anglerfish have only been captured on video a handful of times. To the researchers’ knowledge, this particular species was never filmed previously.

 

The beady-eyed, nine-centimetre-long fish, which swims with its toothy mouth open wide, is captured in such detail that you can see a broken tooth flapping as it swims and tiny dots on its skin that are used to sense the movements of its prey.

The researchers report they know it is a female because males are much smaller and don’t have a lure, as their main focus is reproduction rather than hunting.
