A University of Windsor researcher has identified a strange fish caught recently in Nunavut waters.

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 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.

The fish was caught by a Nunavut fishing boat, somewhere in Davis Strait.
