Several fish were spotted throughout Dive 05 of Windows to the Deep 2021, including rattails, codling, blue hake, and cusk eels. One of the most notable fishes seen, pictured here, was a mottled pinkish boreal slope fish, identified as Gaidropsarus ensis, which may be a range extension for this species.
