The name of this fish in Latin sounds too boring, because it is easier to call FISH WITH a TRANSPARENT HEAD. It has a transparent head through which she can see their tubular eyes. Head, through which the fish is watching the production, helps protect the eye. It was first opened in 1939. It lives at a much greater depth, so it has not been fully studied. In particular not entirely clear was the principle of view of the fish. It was believed that it should experience very great difficulties due to the fact that it can only look up. Only in 2009 was fully studied the structure of the eye of the fish. Apparently, when trying to study it earlier, the fish simply did not tolerate a change in pressure.
