A group of marine science lecturers from the Catalina Island Oceanographic Institute (CIMI) has discovered a deаd snake fish 5.48 m long in the sea off the US state of California.
After marine expert Jasmine Santana discovered this giant animal, she informed her colleagues and needed 15 helpers to bring the fish to shore. Because this snake fish often swims to a depth of nearly 1,000 meters, catching this fish is considered гагe.
Tissues and fish images were sent to biologists at the University of California to study. The fish was displayed at CIMI for local students to see before being Ьᴜгіed.
Snake fish is considered the longest fish in the world with a maximum length of more than 12 meters.
