More than 30,000 species inhabit Earth's oceans, and within this vast diversity lie countless fish that are not only familiar from menus and aquariums but also possess some of the most bizarre and beautiful characteristics imaginable. If you're willing to look deeper beneath the surface, you can discover fish whose appearances can be downright otherworldly—from those with frightening fangs to vibrant swimmers adorned in psychedelic patterns. Marine biologist Karen Osborn dedicates her career to capturing and cataloging these extraordinary aquatic beings, revealing the secrets of our oceans.
Osborn shares her experiences: "Driving around in the deep open ocean, we see some of the oddest creatures—most beyond our wildest imagination. It makes you never want to step out of the control room. All the differences between living on land and living in the wide-open ocean have led to some incredibly strange and unusual solutions to the challenges of survival in there." Her insights open a window into the intricate and fascinating world of marine life.
