		Dragonfishes are primarily mesopelagic, meaning that most inhabit Open Ocean waters about 1000 to 3000 meters deep, although some come to the surface at night to feed and others stay in waters as deep as 5000 meters.
		Among the specializations of dragonfishes are very large hinged teeth, light organs on a barbell, a fleshy extension from the lower jaw, and/or on the pectoral fins, and in some species modifications that resemble a spring on the anterior portions of the backbone.
		Dragonfish is especially noteworthy because of the pectoral fin is highly modified to carry an elaborate light organ.

		Dragonfish are typically very timid fish, so providing them with plenty of caves and plants to hide in will definitely improve their health and boost their appetite.

	There be dragons: New deep-sea predator species discovered
		The first specimen of the new species, dubbed Eustomias jimcraddocki, was large, compared to the average pencil-sized dragonfish at about six inches long and roughly the size of a hot dog.
		Dragonfish are so rare that scientists have often been forced to study and describe new species based on a single specimen.
		The distinguishing feature of dragonfishes is a long thin protrusion known as a barbel anchored at the fish's chin that trails below its body.

		This fearsome looking fish is distinguished from its close relative, the shortbarbel dragonfish, by six rows of hexagons that are formed by the scales along the sides of its body.
		The boa dragonfish occurs in the North Atlantic, Pacific, and the Canadian parts of the Arctic Ocean, but little is known about its biology due to its preferebce for deep water habitats.
		However, a number of individuals have been caught at 300 m and one Canadian specimen was recovered from the stomach of a swordfish caught off the coast of Newfoundland.

		The first specimen of the new species, dubbed Eustomias jimcraddocki, is about six inches long and roughly the size of a hot dog, though most dragonfish are closer in size to a pencil.
		At the end of the barbel is a bioluminescent organ the animals use like a fishing lure to attract their prey, mainly smaller lanternfish.

	Digimorph - Chirostomias pliopterus (Scaleless Dragonfish)
		These fishes are primarily mesopelagic, meaning that most inhabit open ocean waters about 1000 to 3000 meters deep, although some come to the surface at night to feed and others stay in waters as deep as 5000 meters.
		Among the specializations of dragonfishes are very large hinged teeth, light organs on a barbel (a fleshy extension from the lower jaw) and/or on the pectoral fins, and in some species modifications that resemble a spring on the anterior portions of the backbone.
		The feeding apparatus of these animals is well developed, but the rest of the body is less so, and reduced skeletons and musculature are specializations associated with the low energy budget of the mesopelagic environment.

	Real Good Food \| Dragonfish
		At Dragonfish, the tariff is $7.85 for a pair of rolls, and they’re so loosely wrapped they fall apart on the way to the dipping sauce.
		Chicken lettuce cups taste okay, but $8.45 for a quarter-head of iceberg lettuce and a cup of diced chicken is too much, even if the fowl is cooked with shittake mushrooms and pine nuts (apparently the ‘pan’ in pan-Asian covers a lot of geography).
		The original Dragonfish in Seattle is very popular, and maybe if the Portland version had the same showy exhibition kitchens (a wok station and robata grill, which is a Japanese term for fireside cooking, not a grill manned by robots) it might compensate for the food.

		Comment: In a city lacking very many late night food options, Dragonfish definitely helps take the edge off the midnight munchies.
		Their dinner and lunch menus are reliably good, with fairly reasonable prices; beware the weekend dim sum, however, as I found it disappointing in selection & not quite what I expect in dim sum fare.
		If you're into big and weird looking drinks, try the Counfucious - it's a rum / sweet and sour mix with a flaming sugar cube.

		Remembering that you put a paper about the Black Dragonfish in your book bag, you decide to read the article entitled Lair of the Dragon while the sub continues its descent.
		You may recall that in order to see the red light that it produces, the Dragonfish uses a visual pigment derived from chlorophyll (in fact, you will soon there that this is the first time anyone has ever found a use for chorophyll in an animal).
		How is it thought that the Black Dragonfish obtains the chorophyll needed for its eyes when it lives in depths where there are no plants carrying on photosynthesis with cholorphyll?
