A lateral illustration of a lanternfish showing the streamlined body, large eye, and rows of ventral and lateral photophores. In ichthyology and comparative anatomy, it depicts an organism (teleost fish) with light-emitting organs (photophores) embedded in the integument along the flank and belly, plus caudal, dorsal, and pectoral fins as anatomical structures. The photophores produce bioluminescence for counterillumination and communication, while the enlarged eye supports low-light vision. The taxon is family Myctophidae (lanternfishes) in Actinopterygii; species not specified.
