    That's a long nosed chimaera. Hariotta raleighana Deep water fish--not something you'll see diving! They are usually brought up by trawlers.

    When the North California fishery crashed in the 1940s, everyone in Monterey wondered where the sardines had gone, Ed Ricketts, marine biologist and colleague of John Steinbeck had the answer, "They're in cans."

    Darn ... I thought it was the Medium-Nosed Chimaera. Tough call, there was nothing in the picture to give it scale ...
