My friend who introduced me to this guy’s twitter feed calls it “Nope Fish.” I suspect they all taste more or less the same, but I can understand why a sushi chef wouldn’t want those pretty faces staring at customers through the glass.
No, thanks
A Russian fisherman snaps pictures of some of the stuff that winds up on their deck.
Teeth of shai-hulud
Judging from the eyes, some of these are deep dwellers.
Aggro looking little fella
The last fish kinda looks like an Angler Fish, which is kinda cute in a horrifying way. But yeah, that first fish is a definite nope.
Shai-Hulud, in the OCEAN?! Blasphemy!
Shiv@#1:
Gotta admire evolution’s work on the teeth of the first one.
Uh, fascinating from a distance.
And those little eyes. It looks like it’s probably not very particular about what it gobbles, and it can’t let go.
Those teeth on #1 look suspiciously like a transitional form towards a marine buzzsaw or mining drill. It’s easy enough to imagine those rows of teeth rotating. A natural predator for nuclear submarines…
komarov@#4:
It looks like it’s been feeding on nuclear submarines already!!! Om nom nom nom…
They’re cuties!
The caption on the first one says Weekend! I think.
Marcus, your anti-Brian spam filter is failing.
I can’t log in to comment directly to your posts, but I can log into PZs to comment, then when I come here I am still logged in.
Weird.
The mouth of the first is a one-way street.
Did any of these species actually look like that before fukishima? :-O
Tho I think those ‘little eyes’ in buzzsaw are actually it’s nostrils. The eyes are just out of sight at the sides.
