Species Spotlight: Anglerfish

from Gettin' Fishy With It · host Gettin' Fishy With It

In this episode, "Species Spotlight: Anglerfish" Josh and Christine dive deep into the subject of anglerfish. You'll be surprised how diverse this group of fishes is! You'll also be surprised how many fish you recognize that are actually anglerfish, even though they go by a different name. Deep sea anglerfish get all the limelight but there are lots of species that live in the shallow depths of the ocean of various colors and shapes! Come learn about these masters of camouflage and even one that absorbs light like a black hole!This podcast is brought to you by the wahoo, a slimmer cousin of the tuna. These are highly prized sport catching fish. In fact if you caught one, you might want to shout out “wahoo”! They have characteristic stripes that make them look like an aquatic zebra, minus the giant buck teeth. They are strong fighters when caught on a fishing line and if they snap your line, they may have the last wahoo after all. Cheers to you wahoo and may you swim eternally in our hearts.Thanks for listening to Gettin’ Fishy With It! You can find our website at ⁠⁠⁠www.gettinfishywithit.com/⁠⁠⁠.
