Breiflabb - Anglerfish, commonly known as Monkfish, latin name Lophius Piscatorius
🔍They are known for their ambush hunting strategy. They lie on the seabed and use a modified spine on their head as a lure to attract smaller fish🏳.
Once the prey gets close, the monkfish uses powerful suction to swallow it whole👀.
They live from shallows down to 1200m.
We saw this one on Herøy in 15m.
What an interesting life🤔, just lying around on the ocean floor, waiting for something tasty to swim right over your mouth otherwise you go hungry😳
