 Cetomimiformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cetomimiformes or whalefishes are an order of small, deep-sea ray-finned fish.
Thought to have a circumglobal distribution throughout the tropical and temperate latitudes, whalefishes have been recorded at depths in excess of 3,500 metres.
Their eyes are very small or vestigial; the lateral line (composed of huge, hollow tubes) is consequently very well developed to compensate for life in the pitch fl depths.
