Description
In the dorsal fin, 2-6 spiny and 14-19 soft rays. The barbed and soft parts are separated by a notch (for Photoblepharon, the dorsal fin is solid). In the anal fin there are 2-3 spiny and 10-13 soft rays. In the ventral fin there is one thorn and 5-6 soft rays. Vertebrae 25-30. Under the eyes are bioluminescent organs equipped with a rotation and closing mechanism. The infraorbital organ contains symbiotic bacteria that emit light continuously. A black leather plate can extend and cover a luminous organ. Such a mechanism operates among representatives of the genus Photoblepharon . In Anomalops , the organ itself turns down and, accordingly, the light goes inward. The rest of the family has both mechanisms. Due to the flickering glow, fish attract their prey and avoid the pursuit of predators [3] .
The maximum body length is 35 cm for Anomalops katoptron [4] .
Biology
Lead a nocturnal lifestyle. In the daytime hours go to a depth and hide in shelters. At night they rise closer to the surface. They feed on small crustaceans [5] .
