Etmopterus compagnoi [Etmopterus compagnoi]
Description
This deep-sea lanternshark is typically seen in low-light conditions, where its dark coloration helps it blend into the depths. With a dive light, you may catch fleeting glimpses of its form as it moves calmly through the water column, often staying just out of reach.
