The passage states that fish of species $\text{S}$ in the deep sea have ultra-black skin, which helps them avoid predators and sneakily attack their prey. This indicates that ultra-black skin provides ${\color{DarkGreen} \text{advantages}}$ for species $\text{S}$ in terms of survival and hunting.
However, it also mentions that the extra layer of black pigment results in lower collagen in their skin, making it more fragile. This fragility of the skin can be considered a ${\color{Red} \text{disadvantage}}$ for species $\text{S}.$
Therefore, having ultra-black skin has both positive (avoiding predators and attacking prey) and negative (skin fragility) aspects for species $\text{S}.$
