Mysterious fish on display at aquarium in central Japan

A giant oarfish, a fish species usually living in deep tropical seas, is on display at the Niigata City Aquarium in central Japan on Feb. 9, 2016. The 3.3-meter-long fish, weighing 14.5 kilograms, was found in a fixed fishing net off Sadogashima island the previous day. Little is known about the biology of the fish with a silver white long scaleless body and a red dorsal fin. The fish is known in Japan as "Ryugu no tsukai," or "Messenger from Dragon palace," an undersea palace in Japanese folklore. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
