Most fish and indeed most vertebraes on planet earth are Bristlemouths. With numbers in the Quadrillions, they easily outnumber mammals, birds (including owls) and all the others put together. If an alien race just made a quick stop and beamed up one specimen of a vertebrae species, it would likely look like this:

These are the main inhabitants of earth as far as complex life goes. You just never see them, because they are smart enough to stay below 300 meters deep. Just chilling and signaling with their bioluminescent spots. Even when their main food source migrates to the surface daily, they stay down there. In fact, as they get older and their sex changes from male to female(oh yeah, that's a thing), their swim bladder gradually fills with lipids causing them to slowly shift downwards to deeper depths of over 5000 meters (16400 ft). They seem to hear the call of the abyss. What do they know, that we don't?

The bristlemouths yearn for the underwater mines.

Do you have a source on the quadrillions part? I thought deep sea lil freaky dudes like that were all rare n stuff?

Sure I used to think the same. I think the trick is, that they eat stuff like krill and plankton from higher up, that migrates downwards once a day.

"The Bloop" is a mysterious, ultra-low-frequency underwater sound recorded by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997. For years, scientists debated its origin, with theories ranging from giant sea creatures to military operations, but it was later determined that the sound came from icequakes, or the cracking and breaking away of icebergs from glaciers, according to NOAA.

That's what they want you to believe.
