They have special types of cells called photophores that produce specific spectrums of light. They can also mimic the ambient light conditions around them with these photophores. More interestingly, they can emit wavelengths such as red light not present at the depths at which they live which makes them invisible to predators since many deepwater fish have a very limited visible spectrum as a result of poor light penetration.
