Anglerfish are the members of the order Lophiiformes. They are bony fish named for their characteristic mode of predation, wherein a fleshy growth from the fish's head (the esca) acts as a lure; this is considered analogous to angling.
Some anglerfish are pelagic (live in the open water), others are benthic (bottom-dwelling). Some live in the deep sea (e.g. Ceratiidae) and others on the continental shelf (e.g. the frogfishes Antennariidae and the monkfish/goosefish Lophiidae). They occur worldwide. Pelagic forms are most laterally (sideways) compressed whereas the benthic forms are often extremely dorsoventrally compressed (depressed) often with large upward pointing mouths.

US chemists and biologists have identified the main chemical constituents of a key signalling pheromone used by sea lampreys.
Using the goldfish as a model, we have discovered that fish pheromones (the term given to chemical signals between the same species) are derived from hormonal metabolites and ...
There is copious scientific literature on this subject for fishes, including back to 1941 when Karl von Fritsch termed one type of fish pheromone as "Schreckstoff" (fright ...
Pheromones Released by Invasive Great Lakes Fish Can Be Extracted From Water and Used for Control (Web Release)
Abstract: The study of fish pheromones is particularly relevant because of the conserved nature of chemoreception in vertebrates. However, most fish pheromone systems remain ...
