The anglerfish has rarely been seen on camera prior to this
Screen grab of the YouTube video.
One of the scariest-looking fish around, the black seadevil, has been caught on video at 580m (1,900 feet) deep — probably for the first time. A species of anglerfish, the black seadevil, which lives in the deep, dark waters of the Monterey Canyon and has never been captured on video earlier, has been captured on film for the first time by The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Scientists do not know too much about this species of fish, except its life span and reproductive biology. This is the sixth known instance of this elusive fish being shot.
The video was posted on YouTube on November 21 by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), shows the scary-looking fish.
According to the Huffington Post, scientists hope to learn more about the movement and swimming pattern of the Black SeaDevil from this first video ever though it is still too early to predict that. For now, the scientist community is ecstatic about the video which is the first of its kind in thee world.
