Science and marine life folks! Does anyone on here study sea anemones (or know someone who does)? I'm particularly interested in talking to someone about the biomechanics of their tentacles and stinging cells. 🧪🦑

In the Arabian Sea, the biomass of lanternfishes is particularly high, but dominated by only a few species.
Much of the high production of the Arabian Sea is channelled via zooplankton to the stock of lanternfishes due to the low abundance of competing small pelagic fish.

Why are so many lanternfishes in the Arabian Sea?
Lanternfishes (Family Myctophidae) are one of the most common and abundant families among the fishes living in the twilight zone and play a key ecological role in the pelagic ecosystems.
