Hairy Angler

There is a new type of anglerfish called a hairy angler. It's name is from the hair like rods or antennae that protude from it's body. The tips are sensitive to movement in the water telling when the next food source comes by and like all other deep-sea anglerfish it has a antenna with bacteria that produce biolumenesence.

Odd financial sentence

In Japan each fish sells for as much as 50 cents. The liver alone, considered a great delicacy, can cost $10.

"The liver alone" implies it has great worth relative to the rest of the fish, but is actually worth a whopping 2000% of the fish? This sounds ... fishy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.109.37.169 (talk) 10:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Consumption

Can the author, or someone else provide any references for this section? None of it makes sense. I find it hard to believe that a fish that lives in aphotic zones are 'widely used in cooking' in Europe. Also, with a fish that costs $150 USD, why would it be refered to as 'the poor man's lobster'? And furthermore, if the liver of the fish can sell for $100USD, why is the rest of this fish only worth $50? All of this is highly suspect. SJM 26 February 2007
