Rare Humpback Anglerfish Filmed Alive Near Ocean Surface in Daylight

Researchers believe they have recorded potentially the first-ever sighting of an adult abyssal fish, Melanocetus johnsonii, in broad daylight.

Marine Biologist Laia Valor stated the team spent a couple of hours with the fish before it died.
The motive for its presence in shallow waters is uncertain, and it could be the first time it has ever been filmed in these conditions.
