I for one, would really like to know what this critter is. I've caught some strange looking fish, such as sturgeon, but this one...................
Sturgeon???

This was found about six miles south of San Juanico last May. we think it is some form of strurgeon as well. It has a similar look to was is being

Chimaera

I saw that, and just had to find out what it was, even though I had suspicions of a photoshop job.
The fish is real...a long nose chimaera pup. This and many equally weird fish were found in an expedition a couple of years ago. That pic is from that
expedition.

There is no connection here with the tsunami. Tsunamis don't wash up stuff from the very deep ocean.
