Not what he was fishing for, and not going to make him the money he was looking for, but cool none the less!
Photos of the gruesome-looking goblin shark a fisherman accidentally caught last month drew attention as scientists caught a rare glimpse of the deep sea creature.
But wait, there’s more.
Now another marine species shown in the photographs has scientists talking.
Many deep sea isopods showed up in the pictures of what fisherman Carl Moore caught in his net, said Andrew Thaler, a marine biologist in California.
Cool stuff. The Isopods were likely feasting on something big and dead on the bottom, and the goblin shark was after the isopods because they are big and full of meat.
Still he was after shrimp and they were not them.
