Mesmerizing moments with a barreleye 👀 📹: @mbari_news ⁠ The barreleye fish, Macropinna microstoma, has extremely light-sensitive eyes that can rotate within a transparent, fluid-filled shield on its head. The fish’s tubular eyes are capped by bright green lenses. Here, the eyes are pointed upward in search of food. The two spots above the barreleye’s mouth—where we might expect to see eyes on a fish—are actually olfactory organs called nares, which are similar to human nostrils. #deepsea #deep
