The lantern bass, also known as the blacktail lanternfish, is a species of deep-sea fish that belongs to the family Myctophidae. It is a small fish, typically measuring around 10-15 centimeters in length, and is found in the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones of the ocean. The lantern bass has a dark brown or black body with a silvery underside, and its most distinctive feature is its large, light-producing organ called a photophore, which is located on its belly. This photophore is used to attract prey and to communicate with other lantern bass for mating purposes. The lantern bass feeds on small crustaceans and other small fish, and is an important food source for larger predatory fish in the deep sea.
