Honeycomb scaly dragonfish (Stomias affinis)


The honeycomb scaly dragonfish is part of the family Stomiidae, which comprises a group of deep-sea fish known for their bioluminescent capabilities. Found predominantly in the oceanic depths, particularly between 200 and 2,000 metres, this species showcases some incredible adaptations that enable it to survive in such a harsh environment. The bioluminescence emitted by these fish not only aids in hunting prey but also serves as a defense mechanism against predators.
