Rare Fish With Glass Head
Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute off the coast of California documented the barreleye fish *Macropinna microstoma* in unprecedented detail, capturing it on video in 4K for the first time after spotting it 11 times over nearly 40 years. They used a remotely operated vehicle, and researcher Shannon Johnson spotted the fish as it returned to the surface. The team observed it for about 20 minutes. The fish has a transparent dome surrounding its tubular eyes, which can point upward and then rotate forward to spot prey. It lives at depths of 200 to 1,000 meters.
