Tidepool Tim takes a quick look at a bottom dwelling fish called a Sea Raven! A local fisherman caught the fish in his lobster traps. The fish is destined to travel by overnight FedEx to an aquarium in the Midwest....Bon voyage!

Sea raven (Hemipterus spp.) eggs in a lobster trap.
Tidepool Tim says, "Sea ravens are impressive bottom dwelling deep water fish. We supply these fish to aquariums and home tanks, but their major market in commercial fishing is as lobster bait."
