A deep sea Pacific footballfish washed up on shore in southern California. This species of angler fish lives in the Pacific Ocean at depths of 2,000 to 3,300 feet, where sunlight doesn’t penetrate

Still oxygen in the veins no? Or does it diffuse back out? I guess the internals could be a mess and you wouldn't really know it from outside.
