Pediculates are fish that have more or less developed filaments to attract prey.
They are also characterized by their great ability to camouflage themselves on the seabed, between rocks and algae, where they remain on the prowl for a long time.
Typical species:
Monkfish (2 m)
Batfish (40 cm)
Antennial (15 cm)
Ceratodes (1 m)
They are classified into several families:
Lófidos (monkfish),
Cignocephalus (batfish), antenarids and ceratids.
Lófidos
Monkfish (Lophius piscatorius)
Extended by the North Sea, coasts of western Europe and northern Mediterranean.
It measures up to 2 m in length.
Antennial
Antenarids are tropical fish that live between coral reefs and algae, among which they are confused thanks to their body covered with bumps and filaments, warts, etc.
Ceratids
The ceratids are fish of great depths with luminous filaments and huge mouths armed with sharp teeth.
Some have an extensible stomach that allows them to swallow fish twice their size.
They have great sexual dimorphism and in some species the male remains attached to the female's body as an appendix to it.
