The barreleye fish lives in a temperature range of 35-38 degrees Fahrenheit, living alone. It is a deep-sea fish found in relatively temperate waters, such as the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. However, they are mostly found off the Californian coast and the North Pacific region. It can be caught at depths of 2,000 to 3,000 feet. It captures food with the help of its peculiar eyes. With its body horizontal and eyes directed vertically, it sees food against lighted waters above (as it is a deep-sea fish), waiting in an ambush. It then pivots its body to bring the mouth up for the ingestion of prey, while its eyes are still focused on the target. When the barreleye feeds, its eyes point forward. Its prey includes [[cnidarians]], jellyfish, various zooplankton, small fish, and tentacles and nematocysts of [[siphonophores]]. Sometimes, it uses its ability to move accurately to steal food from these [[siphonophores]]. | The barreleye fish lives in a temperature range of 35-38 degrees Fahrenheit, living alone.

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. 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. The difference between domes is: the one used by the barreleye fish is used in very dark waters and the one used by human flight is utilized in the air. <ref> [http://twistedsifter.com/2012/09/barreleye-fish-with-transparent-head/ The Fish With the Transparent Head] '' Twisted Sifter''.
