An anglerfish depends on its prey being fooled by its camouflage and by the fleshy lure into which the first ray of its dorsal fin has been modified. |
A number of new TACs have therefore been defined, for example for the sandeel or the anglerfish. |
The North Sea is not the greatest place for fish but on any dive you are likely to see pollack, coalfish, ballan wrasse, anglerfish, topknots and ling. |
The most common are dragonets, topknots, dabs, plaice and, if you're lucky, the occasional anglerfish and thornback ray. |
Consequently, fishing for anglerfish in these waters by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal should be authorised. |
The prey, often of almost equal size to the anglerfish, fit neatly into the anglerfish's expandable stomachs, Drazen said. |
