Whipnose angler : ウィキペディア英語版 | Whipnose angler
The whipnose anglers are a family, Gigantactinidae, of deep-sea anglerfishes. The family name is derived from the Greek words ''gigas'', meaning "big", and ''aktis'', meaning "ray". They are distinguished by the presence of a remarkably long lure (the illicium), which may be longer than the body of the fish. ==Description== Whipnose angler females are easily recognizable because they have an elongated shape and a small head. Their illicium length is an average of one to four times the size of their standard length. The family includes 22 species in two genera. Like the other ceratioid groups, little is known about their ecology, but this species lives a benthic lifestyle while possibly swimming upside down while it is foraging. They tend to drift motionless to lure in their prey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://eol.org/pages/5459/details )〕
