Colloquially known as the New Zealand torpedo, Phil McGowan, Kelly Tarlton's general manager said: "It looks like an electric ray which has swallowed a fish, probably snapper”
The New Zealand torpedo, or torpedo fairchildi, is endemic to NZ. They grow up to a metre in length, have a greyish-brown top but white on the base, and are found on or near the ocean floor. But not this one anymore…
This seems a pretty common occurrence so when will fish learn that there's always a bigger fish?
