Frogfish Pictures, Photos, Photography

Frogfish are a family of anglerfish. They are found in tropical and subtropical oceans and seas around the world. They are small fish with large globose heads. They can be distinguished from other anglerfish by the three extended dorsal fin spines on their heads. They are mostly benthic fishes that are well camouflaged; the first dorsal spine is modified as a fishing lure to attract prey. The lure consists of the illicium (the spine) and the esca (the bait).
