What makes it so remarkable is the fact that a fish in this family has never been seen live \u2013 until now. Video of the fish was captured during an expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer to explore the unknown and poorly known areas deep waters of the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Seen while exploring a ridge feature at a depth of ~2,500 meters, the fish measured about 10 centimeters long. It is in the same order (Ophidiiformes) as cusk eels, but belongs to a distinct family (Aphyonidae). According to the experts, this is the first time that a fish in the family Aphyonidae has ever been seen alive! With its transparent, gelatinous skin, which lacked scales, and its highly reduced eyes that lacked pigment, the fish was truly a remarkable \u2013 and ghostly \u2013 find. In fact, some viewers noted it was basically the \u201cfish version of Casper the octopus,\u201d in reference to an octopus seen during a February expedition on the Okeanos Explorer off of Hawaii that was likely a new species (http:\/\/oceanexplorer.noaa.gov\/okeanos\/explorations\/ex1603\/logs\/mar2\/mar2.html). One thing is certain \u2013 this was indeed an exciting find that highlights, once again, how much we still have to learn about our vast, and unexplored, ocean.
