This thing is cool, it was photographed at744 meters in Monteray bay by their submersible. The fish has a clear dome over its eyes and brain, in fact if you look it up in fishbase.org they didn't realize it had flesh above the eyes. The two eye like structures by the mouth are sort of a reflective divice that allows the eyes to see forward as their lenses are facing upwards. This photo is a still from the video they shot of it swimming around mid water, if you could call 2400 plus ft mid water LOL!!!
