Anglerfish: The Seadevil of the Deep

Elaine M. Alexander

This nonfiction account follows an anglerfish from its birth near the ocean’s surface to life in the deepest parts of the sea. In the midnight zone, resources and other inhabitants are scarce. The book examines the fish’s unusual characteristics and adaptations, including a bioluminescent lure used to draw prey, and how these features help it survive in a harsh deep-ocean environment. Digital art and back matter accompany the text.
