Meet the Giant Jawfish of the Sea of Cortez. He lives in the rocky, sandy sea floor, sometimes up to 200 feet deep! This little guy lived off the island of Bahia de Los Angeles and was very curious about his visitors. #jawfish #fish #mexico #cortez #scuba Mexico Liveaboards #diving #scubadiving #aggieland #aggielandscuba #padi #underwaterphotography #adventure #fish #scubaaddict #scubalife #uwphotography #divebuddy #divebuddies #coralreef #divegear #diver #dive #water #oceanlover #oceananimals #sealife #scubadivingmag #water_of_our_world 09/25/2023

In our last post about tripod fish, we explained how their additional height puts them in a better place fro passive hunting. This video clips shows in detail how the tripod fish is practically eyeless (there is not natural light this depth). Its long, bony fins are thought to be strengthened by fluids that are pumped into them when the fish is ‘standing’ to make them more rigid. These fins can also feel the vibrations made by approaching creatures in the muddy sediment. When the tripod fish is swimming, the long fins float softly, and a little awkwardly, beneath it, as seen here during an #OctoOdyssey expedition ROV dive. The pair of erect pectoral fins just behind its head have two known purposes: the act like antennae, providing extra sensory information to the tripod fish about incoming prey, and can also steer floating prey into the vicinity of its mouth. More information from the @australiangeographic article about these creatures via link in bio. 06/16/2023
