  1. flashlight fish

    A flashlight fish, also known as photoblepharon, is a species of marine fish that inhabits the tropical areas of the Pacific Ocean and Indian ocean. This fish gets its name from the bioluminescent organs located under its eyes, which produce a bright, flashlight-like light. This feature helps flashlight fish to communicate, find food, and ward off predators in the dark environment of the deep sea. They are usually seen at depths between 200 and 400 meters.
