Recently rediscovered, the '''barreleye''', also known as the spookfish, is most known for its unique tubular eyes. These eyes aid the fish in coordination in the dark and can pinpoint the [[bioluminescent]] [[nematocysts]] of various [[jellyfish]]. The dome over its eyes exemplifies [[biomimicry]] pertaining to the canopies of jet fighter planes. The main places it is found is off the coasts of California and the Pacific Ocean. It spawns by egg and sperm meeting together in water. They grow to be approximately 6 inches. The barreleye preys on various [[cnidarians]] and [[plankton]] and sometimes even steals food from other organisms! Otherwise, it spends its life motionless and in ambush, waiting for a snack. | |||

Not much is known about a barreleye fish's reproduction but it has been concluded that they are [[oviparous]] (egg-laying) with planktonic [[larvae]]. They are also thought to be pelagic spawners, which means that females will lay eggs in water and males will release sperm into the water. After this, the eggs will be fertilized in the water. These fertilized eggs are buoyant and they will float around in shallow depths and drift with passing currents. As they grow into adults, the barreleye fish will gradually move into greater depths where they will learn to survive. They are very solitary and do not perform migrations during the day and night.

The Monterrey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) used a remotely controlled vehicle (ROV) to survey the barreleye in its natural habitat. The ROV recorded it just stationary and motionless throughout the whole time, with the help of its flat fins. <ref name=FactsLegend>Baidya, Sankalan.

Humans have used God's creation for many various inventions, such as burrs and velcro, [[mosquitos]] and numbing needles, kingfishers and bullet trains, and much more. This use is known as [[biomimicry]], which is using the models and patterns of [[Creation]] to improve daily living and technology. The barreleye fish's biomimicry example is its transparent dome. Jet fighter's planes have a way for the pilot to see out of the cockpit: a glass canopy much like the canopy over the barreleye fish's eyes. It maintains for the pilot a great field of view of the sky and also provides a controlled air pressure rate. This is very useful for aerial coordination and safety. Also, the dome helps the jet fighter to increase speed because it creates no resistance against the strong winds. The barreleye's canopy allows it to glide through the water with no resistance also, like the jet fighter plane. The difference between the domes is: the one used by the barreleye fish is used in very dark and deep waters while the one used by humans is utilized in the air. <ref> [http://twistedsifter.com/2012/09/barreleye-fish-with-transparent-head/ The Fish With the Transparent Head] '' Twisted Sifter''.
