Angler Fish Facts

• The anglerfish is an ancient taxonomic order of
  bony fishes that arose sometime between 100 and
  130 million years ago.
• Anglerfishes got their name from their method of
  earning a living long before human anglers ever
  appeared on the planet, anglerfish were skilled
  fishers.

• These fish sit very still and blend in with the
  landscape whilst waving a fishing pole with a
  flappy lure on the end to attract unsuspecting
  animals close enough to their ginormous mouths to
  end up becoming the anglerfish's next meal.
• The strategy is known as "sit and wait" hunting.
• The glowy-glowy bacteria that colonise some
  anglerfishes' esca are symbiotic marine bacteria
  that metabolise certain chemicals to create their
  own light, known as bioluminescence.
• Typically, bathybenthic anglerfishes, which live
  in the deepest, darkest reaches of the world's
  oceans rely upon bioluminescent bacterial
  symbionts for their very survival.
