Description: Up to 600 mm in total length. A Macrouridae The picture is the best view. Without lateral view it is impossible to
identify with any accuracy. It is tough to do much
more with an overhead image. However, the snout is short and not very pointed, pectoral fins large, body tapers gradually. My guess is the genus Corphaenoides, which has a large number of species.
