Russian Fisherman Shares Scary Photos of Deep-Sea Creatures
Pleasant dreams! šØ
Roman Fedortsov is a Russian fisherman who has been working on trawler for 18 years. For the past several years, he has been shooting and sharing photos of the strange and scary deep sea creatures pulled up in his nets from the dark depths of the ocean floor.
Fedortsov lives in the large port city of Murmansk. After high school, he enrolled in a marine-focused university. His specialization is in fish processing, or understanding how to best prepare fish for freezing and delivery to end customers.
āUsually at sea we have six hours for work and six hours for rest,ā Fedortsov tells PetaPixel. āThis time period of six hours is called a watch, and I work at the fish factory during the watch. Iām responsible for the process of fish processing, so I have to control other seamen while they are working.
āIn our free time, we usually spend on having a meal, watching TV and sleeping. But I usually take photos of strange deep-sea creatures.

Thanks, OP.
I have always found it so fascinating how little we know about what goes on in our deep deep deepest waters. Some truly bizarre creatures that beggar the imaginations of even the most outre science fiction writers/artists.

Without clicking on OP's link - on the left, the frilled shark. On the right, the spotted wolffish.

Iāve never understood why we spend so much time/money exploring outer space and so little studying deep sea.

The only way to catch fish from those depths is by bottom trawling. Itās the strip mining of the sea.
Fishers who do this (Russians and especially the Chinese) are gleefully destroying the planet.

R8, he looks quite young to have been working on a trawler for 18 years.
