Description
Pachystomias microdon, a dragonfish, is a predatory fish living in deep mesopelagic waters. It has photophores on its face that produce red light and allow it to see red prey items, like prawns. This individual was captured in a trawl between 1000 and 1500 meters depth in the Gulf of Mexico, 2007.
