Scientists at the Institute of anatomy at the University of Tubingen in Germany have discovered a four eyed monster fish 1000 meters underwater in the Tasman Sea area near New Zealand, which has 360 degree vision and can help to find prey and predators, the mirror reported on March 24.
This kind of fish is called the glass head bucket eye fish. Its four eyes can provide 360 degree vision for it. The scientists who discovered it believe that the fish evolved extra eyes to help them find prey, predators and potential mates from all angles.
Also known as rhynchohyalus natalensis, the glass headed bucket eye fish mainly lives in the depth of 800 to 1000 meters. It has two big round eyes like a bucket, which can help it find hidden prey or predators. It also has a silver eye on both sides of its head, like a mirror like lens and retina, which can observe the situation under and behind the body. These eyes make it look very strange.
The glass headed bucket eye fish, which was captured by scientists in the Tasman Sea, is 18 cm long and has unexpected results in its vision research. The reflex eyes of the glasshead barrel eye fish are usually found in invertebrates, such as molluscs and crustaceans. But the eyes of vertebrates and deep-sea Brown snout spookfish also combine reflection and refraction.
Hans Joachim Wagner, the scientist who led the study, said: 'clearly, in the deep sea, a broad view is more advantageous. '
