Deep Sea Hatchetfish

Tough to guess how one couldn’t determine how this ax shaped fish got its name, the Hatchetfish swims the subtropical, temperate and tropical waters of three oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian. Although they may be tiny, they have their own bio-luminescence that they use for various reasons called photosphores.

Big Red Jellyfish

Something out of Stanley Kubrick’s imagination, this giant red fella is the first of his genus to be discovered back in 2003. They can live as deep as 2000-4000 ft, grow up to 30 inches in diameter and are found in the Pacific Gulf of California, Hawaii and Japan.
