wreckfish

This wreckfish, swimming between carbonate chimneys, is just over 1 meter in length. They are common near the summit of the massif and within the Lost City Field at a depth of ~750-800 m. They routinely followed the submersible Alvin during many dives in 2003. Image courtesy of University of Washington.
