Winteria telescopa, the binocular fish, is a species of barreleye found in oceans around the world at depths from 400 to 2,500 metres (1,300 to 8,200 ft). This species grows to a length of 15 centimetres (5.9 in) SL. Unlike most barreleyes, this fish has more forward-facing eyes, but it still has the dome.[1]
The fish was featured in the documentary series The Blue Planet.[citation needed]
