This very nice mounted hoki is a new addition to the museum’s collection. These remarkable deep water animals are the mainstay of the local fishing industry. The museum has a small collection of deep water fish including orange roughy, angler fish, fangtooth etc . #hoki #hokifish #deepwaterfish

Excited to come across this rare species of larval cusk eel last week! Just under two inches.
