How do angler fish see in the dark?
What illuminates the ocean where sunlight can’t penetrate? An animal that makes its own light — the anglerfish, a member of the clade Lophiiformes (LAH-fee-uh-FOR-meez)! The anglerfish’s light emanates from the end of fishing-rod-like extension on its forehead.
The deep sea anglerfish’s lure is filled with bacteria that make their own light. Using a muscular skin flap, a deep sea anglerfish can either hide or reveal its lighted lure. By pulsing the light and moving the lure back and forth, they successfully attract pelagic crustaceans, fishes, and other prey.

Can fish see in the dark when fishing?
Fish living in the deep sea manage to navigate in complete darkness. It’s not strictly ‘seeing’ but fish have rows of pressure-sensitive organs running down each side of their body called the lateral line, which allows them to sense nearby animals from the pressure changes in the water.
How does an angler fish survive without sunlight?
Anglerfish live in the deep-ocean where there is no sunlight, extremely high pressures, and extremely low temperatures. Only female anglerfish are bioluminescent and rely on bacterial symbionts to produce their light. Anglerfish appear to live mostly solitary lives; except, of course, once they have found a mate.
