Sharks , fear and love

Sharks (superorder Selachimorpha) are a kind of fish with a full cartilaginous skeleton and a highly streamlined body. They respire with the use of five to seven gill slits. Sharks have a covering of dermal denticles that protect their skin from damage and parasites and improve water dynamics. They have a lot of replaceable teeth. Sharks range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark, Etmopterus perryi, a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (7 in) in length, to the whale shark, Rhincodon typus, the largest fish, which grows to a length of approximately 12 metres (39 ft) and which eats only on plankton, squid, and small fish through filter feeding.

Barreleye fish-A deep-sea fish with a see-through head

Barreleyes, also known as spookfish (a name also applied several species of chimaera), are small, deep-sea, odd-looking osmeriform fish comprising the family Opisthoproctidae.Living in hot waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans,in the family there are thirteen species in six genera (four of which are monotypic).

These fish are named for their barrel-shaped, tubular eyes which are mainly looking upwards to find the silhouettes of available victims; but, according to Robison and Reisenbichler these fish are capable of using their eyes forward as well. The family name Opisthoproctidae is derived from the Greek words opisthe ("behind") and proktos ("anus").
