    One look at a common fangtooth and it's easy to see how this fish got its name.

    Like many deep sea fishes, a common fangtooth has large, sharp teeth for capturing food that comes its way.

    When a fish or shrimp swims nearby, a common fangtooth simply opens its big mouth and sucks the animal inside.

    Animals caught in its trap have little chance of wriggling free.

    The fangtooth is found in meso- and bathy-pelagic waters worldwide.

    Dark skin and scales provide camouflage in these dim ocean depths, assisting them with catching prey (fish, shrimp, and squid) and avoiding hungry predators (tuna and marlin).

    Their prominent lateral line system detects water movement and compensates for poor eyesight and low light conditions.

    The fangtooth has been spotted just eight times in the past 30 years of MBARI ROV expeditions.
