At least 16 types of recently discovered deep-sea fish are among the darkest creatures ever found, according to a study published Thursday.

The fish -- called the ultra-black fish, which live anywhere between 200 to 2,000 meters below surface -- are so dark that they often appear just as a silhouette, according to one of the authors, Alexander Davis, of the study, which was published in Current Biology.
