The Anglerfish Filmed In Maltese Waters
Local
Marine biologist Alan Deidun shared video on Facebook thanks to citizen scientist and diver Gordon Scott who captured footage of an anglerfish at a depth of 30 meters in the waters off Malta.
The monkfish, also known as the anglerfish, belongs to the Lophius piscatorius family, a larger fish species found in the Mediterranean Sea.
The angler fish is a deep-sea predator known for its unique hunting strategy. It uses its bioluminescent lure to attract prey in the darkness of the sea.
