Characteristics Anglerfish have soft bones and squishy type flesh
that is either gray or black in color. They are shaped like a baseball with
fins. The anglerfish do not have pectoral fins. The anglerfish is very slow. It
can grow up to be up to 8 inches long. how it eats An anglerfish eats by using the lure on the end of its "fishing
pole". This lure lights up by using the bacteria around it to create
a bioluminescent light. When this light is lit up fish see it and think it
is the poop that came from up top, because when other fish from up top poop
it comes down and catches bacteria and starts glowing. The anglerfish pretends
its lure is a piece of poop that glows and small fish come to it and get eaten
by the anglerfish. Mating An anglerfish male makes a different sort of
pattern to let a female know that he is a type of anglerfish to have babies
with. Then the male lives on the female as a parasite. Later they come together
as a two body hermaphrodite and have kids. |
