23 h. ago I’m obsessed with deep sea sharks: their bioluminescent spots are just visible in the pitch black environment they live in

Most of these little-known but already endangered fish have never been seen alive in their natural habitat, but are under threat from bottom trawling and deep-sea miningThree years ago I was running a research project from a bottom trawler off Namibia about deep-sea sharks – all of which live under enormous water pressure, close to the seafloor and are rarely seen by humans.These sharks were being brought up in the trawler’s nets.
