fish are famous for their unusual predatory technique. Your first plug having a fishing rod is designed with a small debate at the end. The fishing rod is actually called "Illicium and the debate as" bait. "The esca is a fleshy growth found at the end of Illicium. When a predator alerts about Esca, thinks she is a suitable prey. It swims near the bait and is quickly overtaken by the angler fish before it gets to swallow a change inBait.

There are over 200 known species of anglerfish in the world, and perhaps more types of fish are in the future since many of the fishermen live in great depths far below the ocean, where humans and their equipment Research rarely venture. Angle fish species not included in a particular family or genus, they are given instead of several different families. However, belong to the same order; anglerfishes. (The order of bony fishes).

AngelThe species of fish are also known for their ability to kill and eat prey that is much larger. The effect can ambush kill angelfish, large prey and their adaptable body allows them to swallow the catch. Their jaws can be driven to make room for huge booty, and their bones become thin and flexible stomach bigger. The stomach of a fish fisherman is very flexible.

As already mentioned, is home to many species of anglerfish awaythe sea floor. Aphotic who live in areas where the sun can not penetrate the light. A normal Bait and therefore invisible. The living species of deep-sea fishermen fish light has solved the problem by inserting a symbiotic relationship with a specific type of bacteria that produce. The bacteria colonize the bait and make it glow in the dark, an example of so-called bioluminescence. Bioluminescence is a common feature of living organisms in deep-sea fish and other predators in the area Aphotictherefore assume that the small bait a suitable prey. Rest of the monkfish is dark and can not be detected in a Aphotic Light Esca is not strong enough to illuminate the body of the fish or other organisms in the light of bioluminescence. The angler can then remain completely hidden and ambush unsuspecting prey fish.

Deep sea fish reproduction fisherman have developed an unusual method. Aftera male finds a female angler fish angler fish, he will never leave. He puts his body with his sharp teeth and produces an enzyme that enables access by little by little his blood. The two fish gradually merge with each other and do not chase the male, he will get all the nutrients it needs from the female anglerfish. When it is ready to ovulate, the hormone levels in the blood make the male sperm can produce than fertilize the eggs. To use this method to besuccessful, the female angler fish are much larger than the male. When men are connected to a female, will become even worse. One was the greatest female angler fish found larger than a meter (more than 90 cm). Some female angler allows more than one male to join her.
