It seems Longnose chimaeras (Rhinochimaera atlantica), very rare fish.
Usually Rhinochimaera atlantica is found at depth 500-1500m (1640-4921ft) on or near the bottom of continental slopes. Regards,

That is one freaky looking fish. Never seen anything like that? Call it " Da Freak "

wwoouu that's a weird fish.
It reminds me the dynosaurs

Just a FYI, those photos are fake. Fish probably real, but they did not wash up from the tsunamis. A series of photos came out after the tsunamis, which 'authorities' have confirmed to be not true.

I'm sure with some digging you can find this to be so..........but I'll leave it with just 'IMO'.

Best,

Yeah - the photos are real, but the relation to the tsunami was false:

Although they are genuine images of some rather strange deep-sea creatures, these photographs have nothing to do with the Indian Ocean tsunami. They date from mid-2003 and were taken as part of the NORFANZ voyage, a joint Australian-New Zealand research expedition conducted in May-June 2003 to explore deep sea habitats and biodiversity in the Tasman Sea. These photographs can be viewed on Australia's National Oceans Office web site.

Creature Feature

Regardless of the story - the fish are amazing all the same!!! Yikes! Sometimes I think its better if I don't know what's down in the deep...
