bigeye
Large-orbed seafood
Bigeye refers to any of several fish species characterized by unusually large eyes, typically found in deep or tropical waters.
The name appears in common names like bigeye tuna, bigeye thresher shark, and various reef fish.
The large eyes are adaptations for seeing in low-light conditions at depth.
