Although the mechanism was unclear, the environment inside the Lanternfish's stomach was, overall, somewhat like a tropical rainforest.
The "seawater" was highly acidic and regularly digested food. There was certainly a smell in the humid air, but it was nowhere near as unpleasant as one might imagine.
