New anglerfish discovered, bluegills used as sensors

[maybe]

Daily Planet (Discovery Channel) had a short film clip of the new oddball anglerfish this morning. Blue eyes that face forward, and fins shaped like legs. These 2 links have different pictures: National Geographic and ScienceDaily.com.

 

While I was at ScienceDaily, I noticed over on the right hand side that they were mentioning bluegills. Turns out they're part of a toxin monitoring system being used in New York, San Francisco and Washington.
