In one photo he handles a halibut with a gigantic eye at the top of its head. In another holds in the palm of his hand a spindly "offshore spider," which he says is "hopefully not poisonous." It can be seen that some of these fishes are a deep, inky black, while others are translucent, and several have eyes that appear to glow.

Most undiscovered species of marine animals reside in the deep-ocean region called the mesopelagic zone, which ranges from depths of about 650 to 3,300 feet (200 to 1,000 meters) and may swim closer to the surface to feed. But when going way down deep, these fish navigate waters that are much colder and darker than those in shallower marine environments, said John Sparks, a curator in the ichthyology department at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
"The thinking used to be that because the deep sea is a very homogeneous environment in terms of temperature and salinity, that there were just a few species but that they were very widespread," Sparks explained.
