BALIK PULAU: With just a rod and line, an angler has managed to reel in a cusk eel, a fish that is supposed to be found many kilometres below the sea.
Even marine researchers are surprised by the catch, claiming that it could be possible due to undersea earthquakes that had spooked such deep-sea fish to rise from the depths.
“I was using light fishing tackle to catch baitfish. My sonar reading showed there was just a featureless rocky bottom down below. When I retrieved my line and brought the fish up, I knew it was different. Fish living in deep seas, where there is little light, rely on barbels to “taste” the water in their search for food.
“Most cusk eels are deep-sea fish. More interestingly, most of the members’ distribution is in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific regions. “It is possible that they occasionally migrate to shallow areas, maybe due to foraging and maybe also due to seismic activity somewhere in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific region,” he said.
