The quintessential deep-sea fish, the humpback anglerfish, is well-adapted for life at 2000 m below the ocean's surface - its "lure" (called an esca) is filled with bioluminescent bacteria that reel in prey in the cold darkness of the bathypelagic zone #SundayFishSketch

Childcare can be tough no matter your species - just ask the mouthbrooding cichlid moms!

Females of several cichlid species hold their developing young inside their mouths until they hatch, making feeding impossible - so Mom may go without eating for weeks #SundayFishSketch

University: "Today is a mini-break for rest and restoration! No classes or university meetings! Take the time to relax and unwind a bit!"

me:

Deep sea anglerfish, like Bufoceratias wedli, are known for their lures (called esca). The ends of these lures are filled with bioluminescent bacteria that glow in the darkness of the deep sea, attracting prey to within striking range of its razor-sharp teeth #SundayFishSketch

Australia's salamanderfish (Lepidogalaxias salamandroides) is an odd one - this cylindrical-bodied fish can 'stand' on its pelvic/pectoral fins and also bend its neck to the side at a right angle, compensating for eyes that can't move independently #SundayFishSketch

In 2020, all of the 17 fish species endemic to Lake Lanao in the Philippines were officially considered Extinct or Possibly Extinct, including Barbodes lindog AKA Lindog. The loss of the native fish community was caused in part by introduced fish species #SundayFishSketch

And so ends the 2020 #25DaysofFishmas Grand Road Trip! From sea to shining sea, there are so many cool and unique fish species. While one day we'll be able to travel and explore again, don't forget there are awesome fish right in your own backyard!

The redhorses are often studied as a group because the different species are *really* tough to tell apart, even for biologists. ID usually involves *lots* of counting of lateral scales + fin rays. Fisheries science is exciting!! #25DaysofFishmas (📷: https://t.co/tfBD9O4EWJ)

Congrats to all the #SundayFishSketch-ers - you all deserve a gold medal for guessing the Olympic mudminnow! 🏅

Thanks for everyone's participation throughout this year’s #SundayFishSketch-#25DaysofFishmas team-ups! And to @Lampichthys for creating such a wonderful community!

🎶Everybody's gone sturgeon, Sturgeon USA🎶

While you might not be able to have a white sturgeon #Fishmas, chances are likely you're not too far from a species of sturgeon- there are 9 species/subspecies in N. America, all of which are found in the US #25DaysofFishmas
