Borisa [Borisa]
Description
Borisa is a lesser-known genus within the family Oneirodidae, with its members being deep-sea anglerfish. These elusive creatures inhabit the vast, dark depths of the oceans, where light does not penetrate. Like their relatives, Borisa species use a bioluminescent lure to attract prey, a critical adaptation to their lightless environment. Information on Borisa is limited due to the challenging nature of deep-sea research, and these fishes remain some of the most mysterious representatives of the Oneirodidae family.
