Atlantic Pomfret / Angelfish

The Atlantic pomfret, Brama brama, is a pomfret of the family Bramidae, found in the Atlantic, Indian, and South Pacific oceans, at depths down to 1,000 m. Its length is between 40 and 100 cm. The Atlantic pomfret is a deep-bodied mesopelagic fish with a deeply forked tail, and large eyes near the front of a blunt snout. The pectoral fins are long and scythe-like. The scales are slightly serrated giving the body a rough texture. The mouth contains many rows of fine teeth which assist in feeding upon the small fish and shrimps from the extensive mid-water fauna. The colour is silver tinged dark grey above, slightly paler below, and the eyes are golden. Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
