the telescopefish (Gigantura spp.), a deep-sea predator with protruding tubular eyes that function like binoculars, maximizing light capture in the dim mesopelagic zone for spotting bioluminescent prey.
Inhabiting depths of 500-3,000 meters in tropical oceans, these scaleless, silvery fish swim vertically with ribbon-like tails, employing slow, ambush tactics to conserve energy amid scarce food and crushing pressures.
Scientific observations, including those from submersible expeditions documented in Deep Sea Research (2018), reveal their eyes enhance faint light sensitivity by up to 300 times compared to surface fish, underscoring adaptations to perpetual darkness.
