Avistan un pez diablo negro adulto en Tenerife, España

Caracas.- For the first time, an adult copy of ‘Melanocetus Johnsonii’, known as the Black Devil, has been sighted near the coast of Tenerife, an unprecedented fact that has captured the attention of scientists and marine experts. This species, characterized by its dark appearance and its unique bioluminescent appendix, is usually found in great depths, which makes its appearance even more exceptional in shallow waters.

The sighting took place in waters near the south of the island, an area that, although known for its great marine diversity, rarely receives visits from creatures of the abyssal depths. The black devil is a fish that normally inhabits more than a thousand meters under the surface, where sunlight is practically non -existent, which makes this sighting a historical event in the field of marine biology. The team of researchers who captured the images of the fish, members of a scientific expedition, stressed the importance of the moment.

This type of sighting allows to deepen the study of a species whose biology and behavior continue to be, to a large extent. The black devil has always been a mystery to marine biologists due to their rare observations and the difficulty of studying live specimens in their natural habitat. The registered copy was recorded during the day, which is even more surprising, since black devils usually inhabit the darkness of oceanic depths.

According to experts, this type of observation opens new possibilities to better understand this species, its adaptation to the extreme conditions of the seabed and how they behave in environments closer to the surface. The event has been highlighted in various international media due to the rarity of the sighting, which could be linked to changes in the marine environment. While it is not known with certainty why the fish approached the coast, scientists suggest that factors such as alterations in water temperature or the presence of other marine species could influence.

This finding also underlines the relevance of marine research efforts in the Canary Islands, a key point for oceanic biodiversity. Experts consider that it is crucial to continue with the study of the species that inhabit the depths, since phenomena such as this allow to expand knowledge about the balance of marine ecosystems. With this sighting, Tenerife becomes the scene of one of the most important observations of the abyssal fauna, providing a new window for science and the study of the mysterious beings that inhabit the depths of the ocean
