#5 looks like a monkfish. I didn't imagine they would have those in the Pacific.

#8 & #9 look like abyss fish. Looks like there is going to be an undertow in the area for a long time. Impressing.

I'me sure i've seen pics of most of those before, they are deep sea fish, who would normaly not be seen by humans, but a large event such as the Tsunami could well have washed them up from the deep as it were.
Still, trippy stuff, seems mother nature can still beat most sci-fi creators.

They say that the number of unknown species living in the sea abyss is far larger than those known to us so far. So surely we are still in for more surprises.

I've heard not so long ago that a small scientific Japanese submarine discovered a monstrous fish about 10m long. They said it looked like a shark but wasn't excatly a shark.

Giant squids, which live as deep as 2,000m, have been found dead ashore in the coasts of Northern Spain and other world regions.

The largest giant squid ever found was nearly 60 feet long and weighed 2,000 pounds.

Nonesense. One fish that looks ugly as hell is the turbot, and it tastes great.

Alright.. not as ugly as those there though.

The Orange Roughy, Hoplostethus atlanticus, is a popular fish species in Australia. It is a deep sea fish and not particularly good looking.

THe fish with the 'fat' head is a baby megamouth. It looks just like the adults washed up on the shores of different beaches. Check it out. Thanks!

Maybe you mean the monkfish which is very ugly but which is much appreciated for the texture of its meat.



In Spanish it is known as rape. A similar fish but which is found only in the sea abyss is known in Spanish as rape de medianoche which translates literally to "midnight monkfish"; but its real name in English is humpback anglerfish.



This weird looking fish belongs to the family of the Melanocetidae, to which the monkfish does not belong. They are, however, related by their similar forms, under the classification of the Lophiiformes.
