| Diet consists of squid, octopus, anchovies, lanternfish, hoki, and sometimes penguins. |
|
| The lanternfish, named for its bioluminescence or ability to glow, is abundant in the middle layers of the Gully water column. |
|
| They eat squid and small schooling fish, such as lanternfish, herring, hake, and anchovies. |
|
| The squids feed on small crustaceans and lanternfish in the tropics, but here they have also discovered bigger game. |
|
| Fossil lanternfish otoliths of California, with notes on fossil Myctophidae of North America. |
|
| Some residents include the mesopelagic squid, mackerel shark, lanternfish, hatchetfish, octopus, and shrimp. |
|
| The toothed whales and dolphins of the Gully feed on abundant squid and fishes such as lanternfish, while baleen whales like the blue whale are feeding on shrimp-like animals called krill. |
|
| Through it all, against many layers of turbulence, Mr. Shorter's intent rang clear: a bold, elegant form under extraordinary pressure, like a deep-sea lanternfish or a Calatrava bridge. |
|
| The Gully is home for many fascinating and mysterious marine animals such as deep-diving northern bottlenose whales, glowing lanternfish and cold-water corals. |
|
| Sonar reflects off the millions of lanternfish swim bladders, giving the appearance of a false bottom. |
|
| They are thought to be generalists, feeding on smaller fish, pelagic crustaceans such as shrimp, amphipods, cumaceans, and less often cephalopods and lanternfish. |
|
| Indeed, lanternfish are among the most widely distributed, populous, and diverse of all vertebrates, playing an important ecological role as prey for larger organisms. |
|
| Krill and deep pelagic fish such as Lanternfish and Anglemouth have light-producing organs called photophores. |
|
| Lanternfish get their name from photophores on their belly or head. |
|
| Lanternfish also account for much of the biomass responsible for the deep scattering layer of the world's oceans. |
