Daily fish fact #269
Bony-eared assfish!
These fish live in very deep in the ocean and therefore have a soft, flabby body! The bony-eared part of their name comes from the spines they have on their gills, and the assfish part comes from its scientific name Acanthonus armatus! See, Acanthos is Ancient Greek for "prickly" and onus can mean "hake" or "donkey"... hence "ass".

From Winners of the 2020 Ocean Art Underwater Photo Contest, one of 21 photos. Acanthonus Armatus: 1st Place, Blackwater. One of the most highly sought after blackwater subjects off the coast of Florida is the incredibly beautiful larva of Acanthonus armatus. This fish is a bathypelagic species of cusk-eel found in tropical and sub-tropical waters. Even though the rather dull looking adults live very deep, the younger developing fish can occasionally be found much shallower and are much more exotic in their appearance with stunning filaments extending from their bodies.
