Meal The primary food source is plankton.

Unusual Facts Known as Symbolophorus barnardi Gets its name from its ability to produce light It is covered with light-producing photophores Over 200 different species of lantern fish They live in large schools near the continental slope

During daylight hours lantern fish remain in the bathypelagic zone. During sundown lantern fish rise into the epipelagic zone.
