Angler fish lives in the Midnight Zone where it is dark and cold
The photophore of the anglerfish is primarily used for attracting prey in the dark depths of the ocean. This bioluminescent lure, often resembling a worm or small fish, entices unsuspecting prey to come closer, making it easier for the anglerfish to catch and consume them. Additionally, it may also serve as a means of communication or mating display among anglerfish.

The exact population of deep sea anglerfish is not well-documented due to their habitat's remoteness and the challenges of deep-sea exploration. However, they are generally considered to be a diverse group, with various species found at different depths in the ocean. Some species may be more abundant than others, but comprehensive population estimates are lacking. Overall, deep sea anglerfish populations are likely influenced by factors such as habitat availability and oceanic conditions.
is a species of angler fish.
The anglerfish has stem attached to the tip of its head with a small mass of glowing bacteria on the end which lures fish into the anglerfish thinking its a smaller fish but they soon find out its a trap and get snapped up by the anglerfish.
Anglerfish can be found all around the world. they only live in oceans, not in fresh water.
The anglerfish primarily inhabits the deep-sea regions of the ocean, typically found at depths ranging from 200 to 2,000 meters (656 to 6,561 feet) in the bathypelagic and abyssopelagic zones. These dark, cold layers of the ocean are characterized by high pressure and very little light, where the anglerfish utilizes its bioluminescent lure to attract prey.
All oceans that are deep is were the Anglerfish lives
Anglerfish have a symbiotic relationship with bioluminescent bacteria that reside in the lure on their heads. These bacteria produce light through bioluminescence, which the anglerfish uses to attract prey in the dark depths of the ocean. In return for providing a habitat, the anglerfish supplies the bacteria with nutrients. This mutualistic relationship enhances the anglerfish's hunting success while allowing the bacteria to thrive.
