Abstract
Davis et al. investigate the distribution and production of ultra-black camouflage in deep-sea fishes. These fishes have a continuous layer of melanosomes in the dermis that are optimized in size and shape to allow them to reflect <0.5% of light. Sighting distance models suggest low reflectance reduces predator sighting distance up to 6-fold.
