* Deep-sea anglerfish: These are the iconic ones with the bioluminescent lure, and they live in very cold, deep water. They are found in all oceans, from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
* Shallow-water anglerfish: There are also some anglerfish species that live in shallower, warmer waters. These are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions.
So, while the image of the anglerfish is usually associated with the frigid depths, there are some species that prefer warmer waters.
