A dive into the twilight zone to see how Macrouridae bones, tissues, and jaws beat depth pressure. We unravel why buoyancy in the deepest seas isn’t about lighter bones but growth-driven strength, gelatinous tissues, and a stout lower jaw, and connect these traits to slow metabolism, deep-sea gigantism, and the dazzling sensory toolkit that helps life thrive where darkness rules.
