Framed Print of Palebelly Searsid (Barbantus curvifrons)
The Palebelly Searsid (Barbantus curvifrons) is a Tube Shoulder. Tube Shoulders expel a blue to green luminous fluid from a pore (the tubular papilla) which is located below the lateral line. The fluid is contained within something known as a "shoulder sac apparatus, which is located under the shoulder girdle. The glowing fluid is hypothesized to be an escape mechanism, allowing these fishes to escape potential predators by distracting them with a brightly glowing cloud. Some species have light organs or photophores. This species ranges through both temperate and tropical waters around the world. Some descriptions of its range indicate that the species does not occur in the Western Atlantic; however, this individual was trawled from the Gulf of Mexico, eliminating the northern portion of that argument. This individual was trawled from between 1, 000 and 600 meters depth, 2016. These fish can be found from 4, 500 meters depth to shallower depths of just several hundred meters. This species is part of the "deep scattering layer or DSL. The DSL is a community of deep water wildlife that migrates, every day, to shallower waters to feed on plankton at night. They return to the depths by day. It is the largest migration of wildlife on the planet, and it happens every 24 hrs. Image courtesy of the DEEPEND project. © Dante Fenolio / Science Source
