Oarfish
A vivid painting at the Newport Aquarium shows a likeness of an Oarfish (Regalecus glesne). Also known as the "King of Herring", the longest sighted Oarfish was over 40 feet long. These fish are rarely seen alive, as they live at depths over 60 feet. Most frequently they are found when washed up on beaches in tropical climates.
