A small deep-sea fish found in tropical and temperate oceans, belonging to the family Brotulidae.
From Latin diminutive, possibly related to 'brotos' (living thing). Scientific naming adopted this Latin form in the 18th century.
Brotulas thrive in the ocean's midnight zone where no light reaches—some species live in underwater caves and have adapted to near-total darkness!
