Deep-sea hatchetfishes are small, shining silver fishes. They are abundant in warm and temperate regions throughout the world, usually at depths of about 200–1,000 m (650–3,000 feet). Deep-bodied and flattened from side to side, they have slender tails and bioluminescent organs along their lower sides. Their abdomen forms a keel. The eyes are large and in the genus Argyropelecus are mounted on tubes pointed upward. Of about 15 species of sternoptychids, none exceeds a length of 10 cm (4 inches). Hatchetfish have tubular eyes which point upwards enabling them to search for prey against any light from above. The fish are carnivorous.
