SwimmingSwimming siphonophore near seabed.
From Block 18 Angola (Pu-PQ)
position is:
07° 52' 00.64988" S
12° 08' 33.43199" E

Bathysaurus ferox
No full textsit and wait predatorThe deep sea lizardfish, Bathysaurus ferox was seen at Kamba-1 and the deeper sites Lavani and Zafarani. There are only two known species of Bathysaurus worldwide. Bathysaurus ferox is pigmented, as in this photo, and its congener B. mollis is neotenic and largely unpigmented (typically a ghostly pale white with translucent flesh). B. mollis extends to deeper depths, but both would be possible in this range. B. ferox is known from deep water, most commonly below 2000 m and at temperatures cooler than 4ºC
