If you take a look at the Seirios view
You can see how big this fish is in comparison to the Deep Discoverer ROV
Yeah, the fish makes D2 look small
This is a halibut, it looks like the Atlantic Halibut
The scientific name of this fish is Hippoglossus hippoglossus
So good you got to name it twice!
So it looks, lengthwise, that the fish is well over a meter in size, that's quite a whopper!
So as we get a good look at this fish, you can see its eyes are on the side of its body
Oddly enough, they're not born like that, correct?
The eyes are in the normal position and they start to migrate as they grow.
Oh wow! (laughs)
Yeah, this species is actually an endangered species.
So, it's really a good observation of one in its natural habitat.
And we've seen, what, at least three today.
That's really good density for being just a couple of hours being on bottom.
So, either one of these sitings would have been notable.
Maybe we should rename the canyon, Halibut Canyon!
Wow that looked like a predation event that we just saw.
