Oarfish

These deep sea fish have long, slender bodies that are silver in color with vivid red fins. Due to the fact that they live in deep ocean waters, much remains unknown about this species. They swim in a swaying manner that resembles treading water, riding the ocean currents with a diagonal posture. On rare occasions they have been spotted seemingly lost in shallow shoals.
