Bizarre, See-Through Creature Caught Off New Zealand Coast Baffles Local Fisherman
January 23, 2014
A New Zealand fisherman could not believe his eyes when he caught this bizarre, translucent sea creature swimming along the water's surface.
Stewart Fraser was fishing with his two sons when he spotted the shrimp-like creature.
"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," said Fraser.
The National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth told MailOnline she believes the creature is a Salpa maggiore (Salpa maxima).
