Nigel Hussey, a researcher who works with the Ocean Tracking Network, says the fish some speculated was a goblin shark is actually the mysterious "long-nosed chimaera" — mysterious because they're rarely caught.

...the fish some speculated was a goblin shark is actually the mysterious "long-nosed chimaera" I mistook it for a goblin shark myself!

More from the article...
"Only one of these fish has previously been documented from the Hudson Strait," Hussey says. "Potentially, if we fish deeper, maybe between 1,000 and 2,000 metres, we could find that's there's actually quite a lot of them there. We just don't know."Hussey says the long-nosed chimera is related to sharks and stingrays. It's got a whip-like tail and a long nose. They typically grow to be about a metre long.
maybe better called, "Unicorn Shark"

That is an ugly fish. Fascinating, but ugly.All in the eye of the beholder. For all we know, this creature could be considered a hottie by opposite sex members of the species. A real catch, so to speak.

“mysterious because they’re rarely caught”
Actually, that would make them “elusive”.

Seriously though, I love deep sea exploration and seeing the creatures that make that their home. A virtually untapped frontier until recently.
