About

The Anglerfish That Swam to the Surface and Died refers to a viral video of a black seadevil anglerfish swimming to the surface of the ocean, which spread online in early February 2025. The anglerfish reportedly died shortly after doing so. Purportedly, this is the first video of an anglerfish swimming to the surface, as this is a rare occurrence, with black seadevil anglerfish typically living in the deep sea. The reported death of the anglerfish became the subject of discourse, art and memes online, with many mourning the loss of the fish following its virality.
