Hatchet Fish
Hatchet fish have a most intriguing appearance. Having very narrow, deep, rounded bodies it is
difficult to see any similarities to their distant relatives the salmon. They are very small, having an
average length between 3 to 5 cm. They are silver with transparent tails and underbellies. Like many
other deep water fish, the hatchet has blue or brilliant red light organs. Hatchet fish are found in all
tropical and temperate seas.
