Monterey Bay researchers spot rare, bizarre deep-sea fish
'Even the most seasoned professionals were giddy with excitement.'
The barreleye fish, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, has a transparent head, and can primarily be found throughout the Pacific, from the Bering Sea to Japan and Baja California at depths of up to 2,600 feet.
In lieu of eyes are “two glowing green orbs behind its face that gaze up towards the top of its head,” and indentations where the eyes would normally appear are its “olfactory organs.” (The eyes of this “bizarre” fish, the institute notes, can rotate to the front of the head “to see its food when eating.”)
