Smarttechnonews-Hiding in a sea of dark, deep, and cold, these fish seem more like an alien than a fish. That form new species of anglerfish types of fish found in the Gulf of Mexico, recently.
The fish was named species Lasiognathus dinema. Scientists from Nova Southeastern University in Florida and the University of Washington, found three Lasiognathus dinema females at a depth of 1,000-1,500 meters. This new species of fish body varies, from 30-95 millimeters.

Lasiognathus dinema who had teeth like needles that live in waters with extreme conditions. There was no sunlight can penetrate to the habitat. There is also the pressure reaches 1 ton per square inch.
What difference does this alien fish from other anglerfish? According to research Tracey Sutton and Theodore Pietsch, the difference lies in the appendages, aka body parts out of the body of vertebrates (vertebrates). Curved appendages appear on esca or organ that is located at the end of 'fishing pole' which extends from the head of this fish. The end section contains bacteria that emit light.
Fish is named dinema, from the Greek "in" for two and "Nema" to strands, which looks at the end of the 'fishing pole' of the fish. So the explanation Sutton and Pietsch in their writing in the journal Copeia published by the American Society of joke on the Herpetologist Ichthyologist and.
Anglerfish fish usually wear tip 'fishing pole' is to lure other fish who thinks it is his food glowing tip. But Sutton and Pietsch not sure whether it could move the fish dinema 'fishing pole' it at will, even if they suspect so.
"Special groups anglerfish fish has not been seen alive, but based on the pattern of muscles and anatomy, it looks like they could control the 'fishing pole' it," said Sutton told Live Science.
Specimens are found only females, but Sutton and Pietsch sure stud smaller size, as anglerfish of the suborder Ceratioidei. Do males did not have a 'fishing pole' and live like 'parasite' on the body of the female, as well as other anglerfish? Sutton and Pietsch said uninitiated.
