The third one is the famous 'Champ' footage isn't it? (EDIT: probably not, thinking of the wrong video ) There was a thread about all the copies of it disappearing on this very forum not long ago.

Nice compilation, good find.

First - a koi carp in bad lighting. You can even see the barbels.
Second - a devilfish (a sort of skate)
Third - viral publicity crap. That's a model of one of the armored fish-types that died out in the Devonian. It pops up again a few more times in the footage, but it's just a model. A good one, though.
Fourth - a rare deep-sea shark in its last throes of death, then on display aftr dying.
Fifth: Shark. Neat and ugly, not sure what kind.
Sixth: Not sure. Looks like some tropical Anabantoid fish. Neat and pretty!
Seventh: That model fish again
Eighth: Some sort of toadfish or anglerfish.

I'm very skeptical about the big serpent-like fish. It just looks too good to be true. Plus, it's in very shallow water and something that big and long doesn't look like it would have any business being so close to shore. But it's absolutely adorable and cute as hell and I want to give it a big hug nonetheless. I'd rather swim with a big one of those than a dolphin any day. What is it (a model of)?

That shark in shallow water looks just like the one they just caught in Japan.

Wow. You sure know how to ruin a party. Party crapper!!

And the dead brown fish with the ruler is also a frilled shark in Japan. :]

Would be nice if people could actually realise that there's a lot of strange fish in our seas, and that everything that gets pulled up isnt "alien fish"...

Hehe, sorry to have been a party pooper.

Personally these "viral marketing" stunts are starting to really peeve me off.

Do you think its possible that some of these are simply anomalies? I know the long serpent-like shark is real, wasnt it discovered in early 2005?

Agreed!

Do you know which marketing campaign it was part of?

same with Parathesia, or however you say your name , I would have a heart attack, the thought of being trapped out at sea surrounded by sharks freaks me out, even thought it would be an awesome way to go , or you could just ride them to land,lol

These are more scarry than funny
Still, it's interesting to see stuff you never seen b4
