Monterey Bay Aquarium team caught this barreleye fish on camera.
According to the aquarium, they're an elusive species that lives 2,600 feet under the ocean. The deep-sea fish has a transparent head with tubular eyes. These fish usually grow to about six inches and can see through their forehead.
The aquarium said the aquarist were on a deep sea collection trip with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. They were collecting jellies and comb jellies for an upcoming exhibition when they spotted the barreleye fish.
The aquarist are preparing for a new exhibition called Into the Deep: Exploring our Undiscovered Ocean which opens in April 2022, where visitors can be face-to-face with deep-sea creatures like the bloody-belly comb jellies, bone eating worms, sea angels and Japanese spider crabs. However, the barreleye fish was not collected and will not be part of the exhibit.
Wow! God really didn’t like places where there was no life.
Dow does this fish marginalize and oppress minorities? How should the democRATs provide reparations>
Kippered barreleye is the best.
I dated a girl like that once.
Didn’t move much.
Rolled her eyes a lot.
Stole food.
Would have been a lot better if they had caught the barreleye fish on a camera with a fisheye lens.
Why does the writer use the singular noun “aquarist” with plural verbs? Strange.
The fish deserves $434,500 for being forcibly separated from it’s family.
Is the fish in Congress?
Nah.
Briefly marinate the fillets in some melted butter and crushed garlic -
toss them on a charcoal grill, sprinkle with some Old Bay,
cook a couple of minutes, flip, a couple more minutes, and serve -
With corn on the cob and a fresh tomato & onion salad with
vinaigrette dressing. That works.

The Barrel Eyed Fish has a snubbed nose with a porpoise.
Does bear a certain resemblance to Bugsy.
“Under the ocean”?
wow.
I’ve been there; it’s my late wife’s hometown. I lost her almost three months ago. That’s a great aquarium.
sometime if you’re bored, get on their website and watch the Otter Cam.
“lives 2,600 feet under the ocean”
Yeah, that’s what I thought. It lives in the sand UNDER the ocean?
