FBname: Humpback anglerfish
Comments: Meso- and bathypelagic (Ref. 58302).  Males dwarfed and non-parasitic (Ref. 4491).  Caught with plankton nets (Ref. 559).  Capable of catching and swallowing prey larger than itself, as witness the approximately 24.0 cm SL specimen of  <i>Chauliodus</i> sp. in the stomach of a 6.6 cm SL individual (NMNZ P 14537) (Ref. 58502).  Larvae are found primarily in upper 100 m (Ref. 36493).  Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36493).  Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36493).
