Marine biologists say they spotted a black sea devil anglerfish alive near the ocean's surface
while on a shark research campaign.
The NGO Condrik Tenerife was on an expedition off the coast of the Spanish Island.
The researchers were surprised because this deep-sea fish, known for its intimidating appearance,
normally lives between 200 and 2000 meters deep.
A predator of the ocean's depths, it uses a bioluminescent pole on its head to attract its prey.
According to the NGO, only dead specimens, larvae or images captured by submarines had previously been documented of the anglerfish.
