	Lophiiformes
		The order Lophiiformes contains a highly diverse array of marine fishes that are primitively benthic shallow-water dwellers, but have evolved to form several groups of deep-shelf and slope inhabitants as well as a highly modified assemblage of open-water, meso- and bathypelagic species.
		Probably the most striking characteristic of early ontogeny in lophiiform fishes is that eggs are spawned encapsulated within a non-adhesive, balloon-shaped mucoid mass (Ray, 1961) or, more typically, a continuous, ribbon-like sheath of gelatinous mucous, often referred to as an "egg-raft" or "veil" (with some exceptions, see Pietsch and Grobecker, 1980, 1987).
		Thus the Monte Bolca lophiiforms indicate that at least three of the major lophiiform lineages (lophioids, antennarioids, and ogcocephaloids) were already in existence in the early Eocene.

		Members of Lophiiformes, in particular, have highly modified pectoral (and, to a lesser extent, pelvic) musculoskeletal systems.
		However, little work has focused on other benthic walking families of Lophiiformes including Ogcocephalidae, the walking batfishes.
		Within the walking batfishes are two groups defined by presence or absence of an "elbow".

		An example in which the prey itself serves as the model can be seen in the mimicry used by female fireflies of the genus Photuris.
		Goosefishes are soft and flabby with wide, flattened heads and slender, tapering bodies.

		The order Batrachoidiformes has been previously called Haplodoci and was once united with the Lophiiformes as the order Pediculati (1).
		Their closest relatives are probably the Lophiiformes, made apparent by the previous consolidation of the two into a single order.
		Paracantoptergians are primarily nocturnal, benthic, marine fishes which are defined by their caudal skeleton structure and skull holes for the passage of cranial nerves (2).

	Deep-sea Anglerfishes (Melanocetidae and Ceratiidae) characteristics, habitat, behavior
		Eleven families of the order Lophiiformes (anglerfishes) live in the deep sea, with nearly a hundred species, more than any other group of bathypelagic fishes.
		In contrast species of the family Antennariidae (frogfishes) live mostly in shallow water, close to coral reefs.
		Female deep sea anglerfishes have a globular shape, not adapted for sustained rapid swimming, but designed for remaining motionless much of the time.
