From NOAA:

We got a very, very close look at this False Boarfish at 1,660 meters (5,446 feet) depth during Dive 06 of the second Voyage to the Ridge 2022 expedition, providing a good reminder of the amazing imaging capabilities on remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Deep Discoverer (and the steady hand of the ROV pilots)!
