In 1833, an almost perfectly spherical fish washed ashore in Greenland and was taken to zoologist Johannes Christopher Hagemann Reinhardt in Copenhagen, Denmark. This fish later known as the footballfish,
Himantolophus groenlandicus, or the man-gobbler was the first anglerfish known to science, wrote Ted Pietsch, a systematist and evolutionary biologist, in his book “
Oceanic Anglerfishes” (University of California Press, 2009).
Today, there are about 170 known species in 12 families of deep-sea anglerfish, and a “huge diversity” within those families, Mackenzie Gerringer, a professor of biology at SUNY Geneseo in New York who specializes in deep-sea fish told Live Science. Common names for anglerfish hint at some of the wild forms they can take snaggletooth sea devil, wolf trap and pugnacious dreamer (also known as the tyrannical toad), to name just a few. They sport a fantastic range of shapes and textures; some are squat and round (

We don’t generally see the creatures of the deep sea, though, because they’re so deep. Every now and then, however, something washes up on a beach somewhere that drives home the fact that we’re sharing our planet with creatures that look like aliens. Take, for example, the deep-sea anglerfish that washed up in Laguna Beach in early May.

According to the California Department of Fish & Wildlife the ugly creature turned out to be a Pacific footballfish. Encounters with it are extremely rare, because it normally swims at depths of 3,000ft.
A scary-looking sea fish washed ashore terrifying beachgoers in California, the United States. Witnesses told reporters that the creature was 18in long and looked more like an alien monster with long sharp teeth - reminiscent of shards of glass - and a weird-looking pole coming out of its head.

Credit: Jim Bellingham Jim Bellingham, a pioneer in the worldwide autonomous marine robotics field who has led research expeditions from the Arctic to the Antarctic, has been appointed executive director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Assured Autonomy (IAA) in Baltimore. The institute is run jointly by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering (WSE) in Baltimore. For more than 30 years, Bellingham has been a global leader in the development of small, high-performance autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), resulting in a class of systems that are now widely used within the military, industry and science communities. He joins Johns Hopkins from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) where he was founding director of the Consortium for Marine Robotics since 2014
