Dr Bruce Mundy, from the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service said, ‘ This is just remarkable. I am sure that this is an Aphyonid and I am sure that this is the first time a fish of this family has ever been seen alive. This is really an unusual sighting. A lot of them are only knownfrom single specimens collected by deep sea trawling or dredges.’

It has never before been spotted by researchers, let alone caught on camera. It lives 2 km below the surface in the murky depths of the sea. The fish has almost translucent skin and bulbous, glowing eyes and is very pale. It is thought to belong to the Aphyonidae family.
