Who lives at the bottom of the ocean
While science and technique did not step much forward, it was believed that no one lives at high depths. This was explained by the fact that there is very cold, and no body will endure such a pressure that create tons of water. However, when the submarines invented, people had the opportunity to descend to great depths. So who lives there? :) I found information about different types of animals:
- Mollusks.The most famous representative of this type at large depths is angelfish. This striking creature is a predator, and it moves with two large fins. I am striking the beauty of this creation. :)
- Jellyfish.When I saw a photo volosistan cyania, deep-sea jellyfish, I was just shocked. Yes, in the photo near the diver. This jellyfish can live at large depths, but sometimes rises above. it the biggest jellyfish in the worldHer tentacles can reach 20 meters.
- Deep-sea fish.I believe that the most famous representative is angler. This fish truly terrifies. She is a predator and to attract their victims uses a small glowing.
Mystery of Mariana Vpadina
Mariana Wpadina is the deepest place on the planet. Its depth is 10,994 meters. It is almost 2 kilometers more than the height of the biggest point in the world - Mountains Everest . In this place managed to plunge just twice. And for both immersions of the expedition seen creatures that were unknown by science. Basically flat fish. But who knows who else can dwell at such depths? I really occupy such things. :)

I live in the seaside town, and from the very childhood the sea manifes me. I looked deep into the depths, guessing about life, which was bullied by the Puchin, the Poseidon himself could be worked in. Sea monsters appeared to me that pop up from dark depths to the surface in order to be saturated with unfortunate sailors. Having matured, I realized that there was no marine monsters (well, they did not yet find them), but nevertheless the world of depths manit me to this day.
What inhabit the bottom of the ocean
From plants at the Day of the World Ocean, such representatives of underwater jungle can be found as:
- Fukusi.
- Laminaria.
- Sea moss.
- Handruses.
- Red algae.
- Porphira.
- Corals.
This list can be continued for a long time, but separately I would like to stay on Fukus.
Futin is the so-called marine grapes. When I first heard about him, I had associations with ficus. Fukusa possess a pleasant taste and many beneficial substances for the human body. Their utility is explained by the great content of iodine. In addition, the fukus contains alginic acid, which purifies the body from toxins and heavy metals.
Fish Ocean Depths
The bottom of the ocean is no less rich in fish. There are little harmless fish, such as for example: Clook fish. Or a little more, for example: Fish Comb. But the most dangerous is a shark. Many of them, such as Tiger, live in depths. Nevertheless, sharks are not the only dangerous inhabitants of the underwater world.
At the Day of the World Ocean there are such types of fish as:
- fish soccer ball;
- embarrass;
- fish Comb.
The embarrass looks quite frightening. It dwells at a depth of 2 to 5 kilometers.
Other types of living beings
In addition to plants and fish at depths, there are other forms of life, for example:
- sea \u200b\u200burchin;
- starfish;
- octopus.
When I look at the octopus, my fear appears, especially if you look at large individuals. They really look frightening, but meanwhile, they are very majestic. Octopuses do not like each other, not to mention other representatives of ocean depths. They are fierce and dangerous. Very terrible creature and very graceful.

I'm wondering all the same. Upon learning of the bird, which steak above all, I decided to "plunge" into the ocean. See who dwells at his very day.
Corals in the dark ocean depths
The deeper the immersion, the more interesting the flora, and fauna becomes. It seems that the existence of corals in deep lowlines is impossible, because there is no:
- lights - raucions tritely can't get through the dense oceanic and sea thickness;
- plankton;
- heat - so deeply water is not able to warm up.
The evolution forced the representatives of the fauna to rush to the very depths and enrich the flora corals. Problems were solved gradually. As a result, "natural" photosynthesis was reconnected, and the corals themselves began to glow. The glow also attracts small prey.
Magically watching rare frames of fluorescent corals, it's like a pillow with lights.
Who floats on the ocean bottom
Baszygas - This fish loves to fall on the bottom. It floats at a depth of 8 thousand m! It may well be that when diving and lifting Cameron had happiness to see her.
Such a feeling that the scorerhigas was at the bottom purely randomly. Externally, he does not differ from those fish that float closer to the surface. Neither the lantern, nor spikes, nor the original coloring - nothing. Maybe over time when a person invents a super-deep-water surgery, oceanographs will detect something unusual at fish.
Several unusual deep-water fish
Curiously, is it true that the deeper you immerse yourself, it becomes more interesting. More about several deep-sea residents.
Sea bat. This species fully describes the expression "None, nor Syak. Externally, the fish is not like a fish actually, more on cancer or crab. Not trained to swim. Only crawls along the bottom using "fins-fins" for movement.
Fishper. Often show a fangy fish, a glowing light hangs in front of it. Fish-fish combines effect and efficiency, actively luring the production of a flashlight.
Bocro-eyed - an instance with a transparent head. Look, from the inside of a colorless bubble in the thickness of the water, there are two huge eyes.

In childhood, my idol was Jacques-Yves Kusto - the Great Oceanographer. Every week, the first channel showed the "Adventures of the Custo and His Team" on the Calypso ship in dark waters. I did not miss any release. Thanks to this, I know a lot about the ocean.
Ocean dna residents
A couple of centuries ago, the biologists were confident that no one lives at the bottom of the ocean because of the huge water pressure. The maximum depth for living organisms is 500 m. But these days, thanks to modern research, it was possible to reveal that even in the Mariana depression, the depth of which is 11,000 m, there is life. These are phenomenal creatures:
- sponge-harp (probably, this is Sister Sponge Bob); :)
- squat lobster;
- griempotevtis (deep-water octopus);
- maluta Macropinna (Transparent Fish);
- pelican Fish (Big Acne);
- pseudoliparis (sea mucus);
- pugAnchinus (worm);
- fish drop;
- fish Trenoga.
The appearance of all these fish, worms and other creatures is very unusual and even strange. I want to bring a description of the most stunning individuals.
Fish-drop
When I first saw this fish on the Internet, I thought it was Photoshop. And she is not like fish. Some kind of mucus with sad eyes, a senile saucer and a toothless mouth.
In 2013, the fish-drop was officially recognized by the Talisman of the Society for the Protection of Naughty Animals.
Pug Portsinus
No less strange appearance and in this deepwater worm having a type of buttocks. The body of the worm consists of several segments filled with gas. In terms of pugsorus, the magnitude of the walnut.
Fish Pelican.
It has absolutely ridiculous and incomprehensible appearance. Very vorave and can rob fish exceeding its sizes. When production turns out to be in his stomach, the stomach begins to stretch to incredible sizes, giving fish-pelicane an even more incomprehensible look.
Pseudoliparis
But this fish, on the contrary, has a pretty cute appearance, something resembling aquarium catches. As it brought it to such depths (about 8000 m) - it is not clear. Ichtiologists claim that this is the only fish that managed to fall at such a depth.
Incredible facts
Perhaps we should stop looking for aliens on other planets, because in the ocean dwells enough amazing and strange forms of life, more similar to aliens.
4. Akula Goblin
Sharulo-Goblin rarely can be seen on the surface, as it basically lives at a depth of 270 to 1300 meters.
It is easy to find out on the elongated and shrouded face with drawn jaws with sharp as nails with teeth. These sharks are achieved 3-4 meters in length, but can grow more than 6 meters.
5. Sea spider
If you thought that there are no spiders in the ocean, you were very mistaken. However, sea spiders have nothing to do with earth spiders, despite the external similarity. These are not spiders and not even spider, but helper - subtype clavistonogich.
They live in the seas, especially in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, as well as in the North and South Arctic Oceans. There is more 1300 species of sea spiders, size from 1-10 mm to 90 cm.
6. Pompeysky worm
Pompeary worms ( Alvinella Pompejana.) dwell in very hot water near hydrothermal sources of the Pacific Ocean and can withstand extreme temperature and pressure.
7. Fish drop
Fish drop ( Psychrolutes marcidus.) although it is considered the most ugly creature In the world, it looks like a completely normal fish, while in its usual medium at a depth of 600-1200 meters.
At such a depth, the pressure is 120 times higher than on the surface. Unlike the rest of the fish, she does not have a swimming bubble, skeleton or muscles, which allows her to swim at a depth. If you raise it on the surface, it acquires dying and sadde.
Sea creatures
8. Multi-minded Worm Bobbit
Magenta Australian Multi-Special Worm, also known as Bobbit Worm can grow to 3 meters long.
He hunts his prey to the most devilish way, drowning into the seabed, leaving a small part of his body on the surface and waiting for the victim. Using your antennas, the worm feels passing prey, quickly captures her with its strong muscular throat, and fish is splitting.
9. Medusa "Floral Hat"
These jellyfish with beautiful multi-colored tentacles emanating from a translucent umbrella are powered by small fish, and sometimes each other.
They can increase or decrease in size Depending on the stock of food.
10. Sea horse-rag
These slowly moving fish are relatives of sea skates. They rely mainly on their processes resembling sea algae, thanks to which rags disguised and defended from predators.
11. Siforoforms
Syphonophores are colony of animalsconsisting of individual representatives called zooids connected by a common barrel. Such a colony can reach several meters long.
12. Coroniduza
This atoll jellyfish or closure is very similar to UFO, because, like most jellyfish, it does not have a digestive, respiratory, circulatory and central nervous system.
She dwells at depth 1000 - 4000 meterswhere the sunlight does not penetrate. Being frightened, this jellyfish "connects" bioluminescent blue lightsthat are spinning like flashers on a police car.
13. Shutching sea dog
These fish usually hide inside seashells on the seabed. These are small (up to 30 cm), but fierce fish with a big mouth and aggressive behavior.
When two short sea dogs are fighting for the territory, they pressed their extended mouths each other, as if in a kiss. It helps them determine who is more.
14. Glass squid
There is about 60 species of glass squid or dying. Most of them, as can be understood from the name, are transparent, which helps them to disguise.
15. Krylonium mollusks
Gorlafts are small sea snailswhich float in water on two legs in the form of wings. They are born by males, but become females when they achieve large sizes.
16. Sea cucumber
These floating deepwater cucumbers are transparent, so you can see their digestive system.
Deepive inhabitants
17. Calmar-worm
Scientists for the first time discovered this deep-sea creature in 2007. He was nicknamed squid worm due to 10 Processes in the form of a tental on the headEach of which is longer than the whole body. He uses them to collect food.
18. Omar Grozny Cles
This lobster type Dinochelus Ausubeli.what does "terrible claws" mean, was discovered at the depth 300 meters In the Philippines in 2007. It reaches only 3 cm long, and his toothy claws is the only frightening trait.
19. Activity Venus Mukholovka
This Actinia ActinoscyPhia Aurelia, was named after veinera plants Mukholovka Due to similar shape and method of nutrition. She folds his disc in half, catching the food trap and digest her mouth, located in the center of the disk.
In the depths of the seas and oceans, a completely different world reigns: Special flora and fauna represented by many varieties did not open up to humanity and half of their secrets. Every year, thanks to developing technologies, scientists can explore new areas and detect unique types of deep-water animals.
The creatures dwelling in poor waters very often amazed with their appearance - not always pretty, but certainly entertaining and mysterious. We offer to immerse yourself in a strange and amazing underwater kingdom with its extravagant residents.
1. Moon-Fish (Mola-Mola)
Fish-Moon (Sun Fish, Fish-Head) is the world's largest bone fish. Split from the sides and a few elongated body shape in combination with an impressive size produces a strong impression, in addition, many individuals of this species reach three meters, if you calculate the distance between fins. This huge fish is found in all oceans located in a tropical and temperate climate. It feeds the giant by zooplankton, as well as, most likely, small fish and algae.
2. Giant isopod
The giant isopod, no doubt, can be called one of the strangest creatures gathered in the underwater world. Famous science as Bathynomus Giganteus, he belongs to a crustacean group, being the largest representative of the Bathynomus family related to shrimps and crabs.
3. Pelagic Big Shark
Describe a bigger shark better than it makes her name, difficult - shark with a huge mouth. Her head of the streamlined form is somewhat lost behind the scale of the jaws protruding forward. The body of sharks decorate white spots covering fins of fins, as well as a dark triangle at the throat. The average length of this wonderful sea inhabitant is 4.5 m, although individuals found individuals and larger than five meters. Weigh the bigger shark about 750 kg.
4. Long-legged Sablezub
The well-known scientific world as anoplogaster cornuta is a formidable creature in the deep waters of many world oceans. Sabeszub got its eloquent name because of a very impressive type of cancady grazing. The teeth of this fish are considered the longest in the proportion to the size of the body among all the inhabitants of the seas. For its grotesque appearance, the saber deserved the nickname "Fish-OGR".
5. Hawliode (Fish-Gaduk)
One of the most fierce underwater predators - Hawliod. His teeth are so great that they do not fit in the mouth, bending to the eye. It is believed that such a formidable weapon helps the fish to inflict critical wounds with their victims while pursuing them at high speeds. This is a terrible looking creature with a long spinal fin, topped with a photophore - organ producing light.
6. Grenader Fish
This species dwells just above the level of the seabed. Leisurely floating along his surface, the fish looks in food lively prey, although it turns out to be at all how to taste and underwater fell. In addition to quite spectacular appearance, the Grenader has the ability to allocate a specific chemical compound with an extremely sharp odor. So to this small underwater monster is really not easy.
7. Deep-water glass squid
Extremely curious species can be found on medium oceanic depths, where the rays of light when the water turns through the thickness of the water in combination with the translucent bodies of underwater residents create the last spectacular camouflage. For even better disguise, some creatures, such as, for example, a glass squid, acquired bioluminescent organs under the eyes.
8. Sea Damn (Football Fish)
In addition to the busy appearance, the sea chest has other interesting features. For example, males of this fish are trained to the body of much larger females and spend most of their lives in this position. While the lady takes care of his harem, it produces food and builds a nest, the task of its numerous husbands is only in fertilization.
9. Pacific Black Dragon
The females of the Pacific Black Dragon grow up to 61 cm long and have at their disposal quite slightly looking fangs, as well as a small beard. In comparison with their impressive friends, males cannot boast of any size (about 8 cm), nor teeth, nor mustes or beard. They don't have a stomach, so they are not destined to eat in their short life. The only mission of the brownish male of the Pacific Black Dragon is to have time to mate with the female, which after that also uses the body of a former buddy as bait for mining.
10. Bolshererta (Pelican Fish)
The long body of the pelican fish goes into an equally prolonged tail with a light-proof organ at the end. On average, this ancient resident of the seas can grow up to 80 cm. Wednesday of its habitat - water tropical and temperate climate.
Fish drop, which
It is deep-water bottom fish living in depths from 600 meters.
Fish drop (Blobfish)
- deep-water fish, inhabiting deep waters near Australia and Tasmania. Extremely rarely meets by a person, and is considered to be on the verge of extinction.
The appearance of this strange and extremely interesting fish is very fancy. On the front of the face of the fish is the process that resembles a big nose. The eyes are small and planted near the "nose" in such a way that there is an external similarity with the "human" face. The mouth is quite large, its corners are directed down, why the face of the fish-drops seems always has a sad and sad expression. It is thanks to its expressive "face", the fish-drop is firmly held first place in the ranking of the strangest marine creatures.
Adult fish grows up to 30 cm. It holds at the depths of 800 - 1,500 m. The body of the fish is a watery substance with a density of less than that of water. This allows the fish-drop "fly" over the bottom, without spending energy to swim. The absence of muscles does not prevent the hunt for small crustaceans and invertebrates. In search of food, the fish boil over the oceanic bottom with an open mouth, into which feed is stuffed, or motionless lies on the ground, hoping that rare invertebrates themselves swim to her mouth.
Fish drops studied weakly. Although she is already known for a long time in Australia as " Australian Scalpin. "(Australian bull) detailed information about her life is very small. Interest in fish has increased recently due to the fact that it has become increasingly to come across trawl networks, adapted to mining deep-water crabs and lobsters. Although the trawl fishing in the quiet and Indian Ocean is limited, but this ban is directed only to the preservation of existing coral reefs, and in deep-water places of the ocean is allowed. Therefore, biologists claim that shelling can significantly reduce the population of fish-drops. There are calculations that say that to double the current number of fish, it is necessary from 5 to 14 years.
Such a slow increase in numbers is associated with another interesting feature of fish-drops. She puts out the caviar directly to the bottom, but does not leave her masonry, but falls on Ikrinka and "raises" them until the young people come out. Such reproduction is not typical for deep-sea fish, which lay the caviar, rising to the surface and mixed with plankton. Other deep-sea, as a rule, descend to a greater depth only in half-plant and remain there until the end of life. Fish-drop does not leave her kilometer depth at all. The young fish that appeared for the light is still under the protection of an adult individual, until he finds enough independence for lonely life.
Amazing creatures live at the great depths of the ocean. Of all the deep-sea creatures, sea devils, or the beautiful workers, live the most striking life.
These terrible types of fish covered with spikes and plaques are inhabited at a depth of 1.5-3 km. The most remarkable marks line is a fishing rod growing from a dorsal fin and hanging over the predatory mouth. At the end of the fishing rod, there is a luminous iron filled with luminescent bacteria. Sea devils use it as a bait.
The victim floats into the world, and a friend carefully moves the rod to the mouth, and at some point he swallows prey very quickly. Some species rod with a flashlight is right in the mouth, and the fish, not much boring, just swims with an open mouth.
Externally, the bats are very similar to the skates. They are also characteristic of a big round (or triangular) head and a small tail, with almost complete absence of a body. The largest representatives of the bats reach half-meter length, but mostly they are somewhat less. In the process of evolution, the fins have completely lost the ability to maintain fish afloat, so it has to move on the seabed. Although they climb with great reluctance, as a rule, they spend their leisure just passively lying at the bottom, waiting for their prey or lining it with a special bulb growing right out of the head. Scientists found that this bulb is not a photophor and does not attract prey with its light. On the contrary, this process has a different function - it spreads a specific smell around his owner, which attracts small fish, crustaceans and worms.
Sea's bats are inhabit everywhere in the warm waters of the World Ocean, without swimming in the cold water of the North Ice. As a rule, they all hold down the depths of 200 - 1000 meters, but there are views of the views that prefer to keep closer to the surface, not far from the shores. A person is well familiar with that preferred water waters. Gastronomic interest is not a fish, but her shell became very attractive for people, especially for children. The fish dried in the sun leaves after herself a strong shell resembling a skipper. If add pebbles inside it, then a decent rattle is obtained, which from ancient times was known to residents of the eastern hemisphere residing on the ocean coast.
As it should be expected - the shell serves as a protective clothing from larger deep-sea inhabitants. Only strong teeth of a strong predator can break the shell to get to the meat of fish. In addition, it is not so easy to detect in the darkness. In addition to the fact that the fish is flat, and merges with the surrounding landscape, and the color of its shell repeats the color of the seabed.
Lanzet Fish
or simply Lanzetfish - Big Ocean Painted Fish, which is the only alive representative of the genus Alepizavrov ( Alepisaurus.) that translated "h Yeshuya Lizard " It received its name from the word "lancet" - a medical term, synonym for a scalpel.
With the exception of the polar seas, Lancethis can be found everywhere. However, despite the widespread, information about this fish is extremely scarce. Scientists have the opportunity to make an idea of \u200b\u200bfish only at a few copies caught with the tuna. The appearance of the fish is very memorable. It has a high dorsal fin, which is almost the entire length of the fish. In height, he surpasses the fish twice, and externally resembles the french-sailboat.
The body is elongated, thin, decreasing closer to the tail and ending with the tail skeleton. Mouth is big. The incision of the mouth ends behind the eyes. Inside the grazing, in addition to numerous small teeth, there are two or three large sharp fangs. These fangs give the fish the awesome look of the prehistoric animal. One kind of lancetiff even was named as " Alepizavr Fiercey ", What testifies to man's caution to fish. Indeed, looking at the mouth of the fish it is difficult to imagine that the victim could be saved, it falls into the teeth to this monster.
Lancer fish grows up to 2 m. In length, which is quite comparable to the dimensions of the barracuda, which is considered potentially dangerous for a person.
The autopsy of caught fish gave some idea of \u200b\u200bthe diet of Lanzettiš. In the stomach found crustaceans, constituting the bulk of plankton, which is not associated with a formidable predator. Probably, the fish chooses Plankton, because it is not capable of quickly swimming, and it simply does not care for fast prey. Therefore, squid and salmps dominate in its diet. However, some features of lancet fish found remains of experience, tuna and other lanceters. Apparently, it arranges ambushes on faster fish, using their narrow profile and silver body color to disguise. Sometimes the fish falls on the hook during sea fishing.
No commercial interest Lancer does not represent. Despite edible meat, fish are not used in food because of its watery, jelly-like body.
Maclotom This fish is called for its ability to swallow prey, which is several times more larger than it. The fact is that it has a very elastic stomach, and in the stomach there are no ribs that would prevent the expansion of the fish. Therefore, it can easily swallow the fish four times longer than its growth and 10 times harder!
So, for example, a corpse of a grocery was discovered near the Cayman Islands, in the stomach of which the remains of the mackerel were 86 cm long. The length of the mixture itself was only 19 cm. Those. He managed to swallow fish 4 times longer than himself. Moreover, it was a mackerel, known as a mackerel, which is very aggressive. It is not clear to the end, how such a small fish coped with a stronger opponent.
Outside of Russia, the microhydrate is called " Black Eater " Body of fish uniform dark brown, almost black, color. Head of medium size. Jaws are very large. The lower jaw does not have a bone connection with his head, so the sprinkled mouth of the slurgelite can accommodate production, much larger the head of the predator. On each jaw, the front three teeth form sharp fangs. They have a black devourer who keeps the victim when pushes her in the stomach.
Switching mining may be so big that immediately and not digested. As a result, the decomposition inside the stomach releases a large amount of gas that drags the slurgels to the surface. In fact, the most famous samples of the black eater were found precisely on the surface of the water with swollen abdomen, which were not allowed to go to the depth.
It dwells a mixture at a depth of 700 - 3000 m. It is not possible to observe animals in its natural conditions of habitat, so very little is known about his life. It is known that these are egg-standing fish. Most often it is possible to detect masonry eggs in winter in South Africa. Young from April to August is often found at the Bermuda Islands, has brighter shades that disappear as fish grow. Also, the larvae and young grumps have small spikes that are absent in adult fish.
Opoly methods dwells at large depths of up to 2,500 m. In all oceans, with the exception of the Northern Icetic. The appearance of them peculiar and does not allow them to confuse them with other deep-water fish. Most often, scientists pay attention to the unusual big fish head. It is located close-ups, which are constantly turned upward, from where sunlight comes from. It is worth noting that quite recently, at the end of 2008 near New Zenland was caught by the opiistront, which had as many as 4 eyes. However, it is known exactly that vertebrates with 4 eyes in nature does not exist. Further research of the find made it possible to determine that in fact the eye is only two, but each of them consists of two parts, one of which is constantly directed upstairs, and the second looks down. The bottom eye of the fish is able to change the viewing angle and allows the animal to inspect the environment from all sides.
The body of the opist and the solid is sufficiently massive, in shape it resembles a brick, covered with large scales. Near the anal fin, the fish is located a bioluminescent organ that serves as a lighthouse. Prysto fish covered with light scales, selects the light emitted by the photophone. This reflected light is well noticeable to other opisopries, the eyes of which are directed upstairs, but at the same time he is invisible to other deep-sea inhabitants who have "classic" eyes located on the sides of the head.
It is assumed that OPISTOPROCES is single, and are not going to large flocks. All the time they spend at a depth, on the border of light penetration. For nutrition, they do not make vertical migrations, but look out for prey at the top on the background of dissection sunlight. The diet is fine wipes and larvae included in the zooplankton.
The reproduction of fish is known extremely few. They suggest that they spawn right in the thickness of the water - throwing out massively straight into the water and sperm. Fertilized eggs drifted at a lesser depth and as ripening and weighing are lowered to kilometer depth.
As a rule, all the opiscripts of small size, about 20 cm, but there are views reaching half-meter length.
- deep-water fish, inhabiting in tropical and temperate zones at a depth of 200 to 5,000 m. Grow up to 15 cm. In length, reaching 120 g. Body weight.
Savablab big head, with massive jaws. The eyes are small, compared with the size of the head. The body is dark brown or almost black, strongly compressed on the sides, and in the quality of compensation for small eyes there is a well-developed lateral line, passing high on the back of the fish. Two long fangs grow in the mouth of fish on the lower jaw. In relation to the length of the body, these teeth are the longest among famous science of fish. These teeth are so big that when closing the grace, they are placed in special grooves on the upper jaw. To do this, even the fish brain is divided into two parts to make room for fangs in the skull.
Sharp teeth, bent inside the mouth, stop at the root possible victim's escape. Adult savages - predators. They hunt for small fish and squid. Young individuals are still filtered from the water zooplankton. For a small period of time, the saber can swallow so much food as weighs himself. Despite the fact that it is known about these fish not much, it is still possible to conclude that there are enough ferocious predators supper. They are held by small flocks or one, making vertical migrations in the dark for hunting. Widow "Footing" fish falling on a large depth, resting in front of the next hunt.
By the way, it is possible that the frequent migration in the upper layers of water explains the good tolerability of low pressure savages. The fish caught at the surface of the water can live in aquarium in running water to one month.
However, despite its formidable weapons in the form of huge fangs, sabersubes often become the prey of larger ocean fish, which are descended to depth for feeding. For example, the remains of sabersubs are constantly found in the caught tuna. In this, they are similar to fish toporists, which also make up a weighty share in the tuna diet. Moreover, the number of finds says that the population of sabersubes is quite significant.
The young sabersubs are absolutely not like adult fish, for the first time they took them even to another race. They are a triangular form, and there are 4 spikes on the head, because of what they were called "horned". There are no fangs, too, but the color is not dark, and light brown, and only on the belly there is a big triangular spot, which "stretches" with time to the whole body.
Splesubes grow quite slowly. Scientists suggest that fish can reach 10 years.
Topor fish
- deep-water fish founding in the temperate and tropical waters of the World Ocean. It was obtained for the characteristic appearance of the body, resembling the form of the ax - a narrow tail and a wide "body-ax."
Most often, Toporikov can be found at the depths of 200-600 m. However, it is known that they are found at the depths of 2 km. Their body is covered with light silver scales, which easily bounces. The body is strongly compressed from the sides. Some types of top-arts have a pronounced expansion of the body in the field of anal fin. They grow to no large sizes - some species reach the body lengths of only 5 cm.
Like other deep-sea fish, Toporic has photophores emitting light. But in contrast to other fish, the hatchets use their possibility of bioluminescence not to attract the victim, but on the contrary, for disguise. Photo photographs are located only on the belly of fish, and their glow makes the hatchers imperceptible from the bottom, as if dissolving the silhouette of the fish on the background of making on the depth of sunlight. The intensity of the luminescence of the axle is regulated depending on the brightness of the upper layers of water, controlling it with their eyes.
Some types of terrains are going to huge flocks, forming a wide dense "carpet". Sometimes for water vessels it becomes difficult to break through this layer with its echolocators, for example, to accurately determine the depth. Such a "double" bottom of the ocean scientists and navigators are observed from the mid-20th century. The large accumulation of the Toporic attracts in such places of some major ocean fish, among which there are commercially valuable species, such as tuna. Also, the toporists constitute a noticeable part in the diet of other larger deep-sea inhabitants, such as deep-sea rosses.
Feed with small crustaceans. We multiply by throwing caviar or laying the larvae, which mixed with plankton and as aggregate are descended to depth.
oret chimeras
- Deepive fish, the most oldest inhabitants among modern cartilage fish. Far relatives of modern sharks.
Chimer is sometimes called "a Ghost kolas " These fish dwell on very large depths, sometimes exceeding 2.5 km. About 400 million backwards, the general ancestors of modern sharks and chimer were divided into two "detachments". Some preferred the habitat near the surface. The other, on the contrary, chose the place of his habitat greater depths and evolved over time to modern chimera. Currently, 50 species of these fish are known to science. Most of them do not rise to depths above 200 m., And only Fish-rabbit and Fish-rat. They were noticed not deep under water. These small fish are the only representatives of home aquariums that are sometimes called simply " Somiyika ».
Chimeras grow up to 1.5 m. However, adult individuals have half of the body make up a tail, which is a long, thin and narrow part of the body. The dorsal fin is very long and can reach the tip of the tail. The memorable appearance of chimeras attached huge, in relation to the body, chest fins that give them the appearance of clumsy strange birds.
Human habitat Himer makes their study very hard to access. About their habits, reproduction, methods of hunting is known very little. The collected knowledge suggests that chimeras hunt approximately just like other deep-sea fish. In total darkness, no speed is important for successful hunting, but the ability to find prey literally to the touch. Most deep-sea use photophors to attract the victims directly to their huge pastes. Chimeras also use a characteristic open, very sensitive side line, which is one of the distinguishing features of these fish.
The skin color in the chimer is varied, can range from light gray to almost black, sometimes with large contrasting stains. To protect against enemies, the color at great depth does not play a fundamental value, so for defense from predators they have poisonous spikes located in front of the dorsal fin. I must say that at the depths of more than 600m. The enemies of such a rather large fish are not so much, with the exception, except that especially voracious large females of Indianacants. A greater danger to young chimer represent their sameords, cannibalism for chimer phenomenon is not rare. Although most of the diet makes mollusks and iglozzy. Cases of eating other deep-sea fish are recorded. Himmer has a very strong jaw. They have 3 pairs of solid teeth, which can be coated with a huge force, grinding solid shellfish shells.
