Amazing Translucent Fish Leaves New Zealand Fisherman Stunned
A fisherman was left stunned when he caught this amazing translucent shrimp-like creature in New Zealand.

Stewart Fraser caught the unusual fish he saw swimming near the surface of the ocean around 70km (45 miles) off the Karikari peninsula on the north island.

He said he has ‘never seen anything like it before’ and has ‘no idea what it could be’.


‘I was in two minds whether to haul it in, but curiosity got the better of me and I decided to take a closer look,’ he explained.

‘It felt scaly and was quite firm, almost jelly like, and you couldn’t see anything inside aside from this orange little blob inside it.’

Experts believe it could be a Salpa maggiore (Salpa maxima), commonly found in the Southern Ocean.
