Video of mating deep-sea anglerfish stuns biologists By Katie Langin Mar.
The two explorers were diving off São Jorge Island , when after five hours of searching, they discovered the pair at 800 metres below sea level. Only the female anglerfish hunt for prey, the males lead a parasitic life and are used solely for mating.
Watch the first-ever footage of anglerfish engaged in their violently gruesome mating ritual. Even fewer have been seen alive in the deep ocean they inhabit.For a quick biology lesson, some species of anglerfish have very extreme cases of sexual dimorphism – in this case meaning the male is much smaller than the female.But besides that, the male also gets quite clingy to the female at mating time, biting into her skin and releasing an enzyme that fuses the two of them together.After this fusion, the male becomes completely dependent on the female, with the female providing nutrients in exchange for its sperm.But despite how exciting and weird these creatures are, there's only a handful of videos, and never one of a mating pair… until now.At 16 centimetres (6 inches) long, the female was difficult to capture footage of, especially with the long glowing filaments surrounding the animal.Although we can't know for sure from the video, the filaments, or the long floating appendages, do appear to be glowing, which would make this discovery another first.After the Jakobsens returned to land, they sent the video footage to Ted Pietsch, a deep-sea fish researcher at the University of Washington in Seattle. The anglerfish is a bony fish that got its name because of its specific method of predation.
"I've been studying these [animals] for most of my life and I've never seen anything like it," The remarkable footage is a treat for scientists (and marine-biology enthusiasts) who've never before seen anglerfish going at it in their natural environment.
