Rare deep-sea unicornfish pops up in fishing net off Imizu, Japan

North Pacific Crestfish

North Pacific Crestfish
When Taku Suganuma hauled up his fixed fishing net off the coast of Imizu, he made a catch of the day that he had never seen before.

The strange fish had a unique face with a protruding head, rippling its dorsal fin and shaking its 1-meter-long silver body.

Suganuma, 24, caught the fish on the Shintokumaru fishing boat, which sails out of Imizu, in the early hours of May 15, when the firefly squid fishing season was coming to an end.

At first, he thought it was a lowsail ribbonfish, which is often caught in nets during this season. However, a younger colleague knowledgeable about fish species said it might be a deep-sea North Pacific crestfish, aka unicornfish.

Suganuma decided to give the fish to the Uozu Aquarium because of its rarity.

Giant squid from deep water caught in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand - a rare find

The giant squid caught near White Island this week.
When the crew of the Margaret Philippa hauled in their fishing nets, they weren't expecting to see a huge jelly mass amongst their catch of orange roughy.

Skipper Roger Rawlison says it wasn't until it fell out of the net that the crew realised it was a giant squid, around 3m in length and weighing 80kg.

They were fishing around 1000m deep just north of Whakaari/ White Island at the edge of continental shelf and often get squid as a bycatch but never anything of this size.

Roger says in the space of 24 hours he caught a 10kg squid, then a 30kg, then the massive 80kg gravid female.

"Within 24 hours, I'd caught three of my biggest squid I've ever caught.


"I was very surprised, I've never seen one that big."

Crested bandfish
A rare deep-sea fish, measuring over a metre long, has washed up on the NSW south coast.

The mystery fish with a flat head was found near Murrays Beach Boat Ramp in Jervis Bay by Wreck Bay Council workers on Wednesday. Stumped at the find they took the species to Booderee National Park's main office for identification.

The species, identified as a crested bandfish, has only 30 occurrence records listed on the Atlas of Living Australia and is rarely photographed.

The species is thought to feed on squids. It has an ink sac for defence and large eyes to help it see in the dark of the deep ocean.

Park staff do not know how the fish found its way to Jervis Bay but are excited about the find nonetheless.

Comment: This is the latest in a spate of rare, deep-sea dwelling creatures turning up in coastal areas around the world recently (since June the 7th), see in addition:

16-year-old boy attacked by a shark in North Carolina

Shark attacks
A 16-year-old boy visiting North Carolina's Outer Banks with his family is recovering from injuries suffered when he was attacked by a shark on Thursday.

Nick Arthur was jumping over waves on a sandbar about 25 feet offshore when he started screaming, his father told CNN.

"At first I thought he was screaming out of joy, and then I looked at him and saw the shark," Tim Arthur said.

The shark had its teeth around Nick's thigh and was not letting go, Arthur said.

"He was screaming 'Get it off me. Let me go' and I jumped into action," Arthur said.



Comment: Another person was attacked by a shark on the same day in the Bahamas.

Bear attacks woman taking nap in backyard in Southern California

bear
If you live in Sierra Madre, you live with bears. They are common visitors to the neighborhoods pressed up against the San Gabriel Mountains.

But on Monday, a bear did something you rarely hear about: It attacked a 19-year old woman who had fallen asleep in her backyard.

"The bear really viciously started to scratch her and then started to bite into her and the only thing she could do is to grab her laptop and start hitting the bear with it. And that managed to break the bear loose and she ran inside," said Capt. Patrick Foy of the California Fish and Wildlife Department.

Capt. Foy says that woman is now home recovering from the attack.
