Detailed Description
Witch flounder, a flatfish seen on level bottom habitats which, like the goosefish, relies on camouflage to hide itself. Even in the deep sea where very little sunlight penetrates, color, texture, and concealment remain important. Image courtesy of Deepwater Canyons 2013 - Pathways to the Abyss, NOAA-OER/BOEM/USGS.
