In anglerfish, the relationship between females and males is highly specialized and unique. Female anglerfish are significantly larger than males and possess the bioluminescent lure used to attract prey. Males, in contrast, are much smaller and have a different role; they often fuse to the female's body, becoming a permanent parasitic attachment that provides sperm for reproduction while relying on the female for nutrients. This extreme form of sexual dimorphism and reproductive strategy ensures successful mating in the deep-sea environment where they live.
