Something’s different doesn’t make it Bad.

When the animal named humans evolved as Homo sapiens, they have that great question and great curiosity about, what is beyond here and what could happen beyond here?

Then that curiosity caused to make new inventions in the world. Someone can express that as a revolution, whether industrial or technical. As one of the first subjects, of Scientology in the world, curiosity about Astronomy could make satellites, rockets, and even rovers to go beyond the horizon and walk on beyond the Earth. So people could solve lots of mysteries in the world and even some about space. Also, there are still remain countless mysteries to solve. And every day new mysteries are added to the list to solve.

When we are talking about the countless mysteries on the Earth, we can separate those into two parts, Land and Ocean, Both land and ocean there are more places to visit for the first time, and we don’t know what could be in there. May be some kind of a new world…  I don’t know, let’s see.

As told before we could make rockets, rovers even satellites to solve mysteries beyond the Earth. Proudly we can remember, that a few rovers are still walking on the Mars surface to collect data to solve the mysteries. On the Earth, 71 percent of the surface is covered by water. So how do we know about what is in there even if we don’t know much about the Land? We don’t know much about marine life. Over 80 percent of the planet’s oceans remain unexplored, even though they represent the vast majority of the biosphere.

However, some people have the curiosity to find solutions to those countless mysteries. Also, one of them is a photographer and deep-sea fisherman Roman Fedortsov from Russia who spends most of his time fishing trawlers. He takes photos of some of the most intriguing creatures he encounters in his line of work and posts them online where they often go viral for their bizarre beauty and their intriguing creepiness that you can’t help but look at.

“Members of this genus are found in cold water environments including the Arctic, the Antarctic, and deep-sea habitats.

Members of this genus have a central disc with five arms which repeatedly bifurcate, dichotomously branching into smaller and smaller subdivisions.

The branches and branch lets twist and coil and may ensnare small crustaceans that come within reach such as the northern krill.”

On his social media profiles, fisherman Roman writes that “the abyss is a little deeper than you think” and that “the sky behind the stern is always beautiful,” showing that he has a very romantic and down-to-earth appreciation of sailing, nature, and the sea.

 

The fisherman works in Murmansk in the Northwestern part of Russia and started sharing his unusual photographs back in 2016. He has around two decades of experience working on a trawler.

 

Roman told Bored Panda that he is an expert in fish processing, so his main task is preparing fish for freezing and then delivering that to the customer. That is his main focus at work on the trawler where he manages a group of workers.

When not managing his other colleagues who help with processing fish on the trawler during their six-hour watches, Roman spends his time resting, socializing, or focusing on his hobbies. “We usually spend Our free time having a meal, watching TV, and sleeping. But I usually take photos of strange deep-sea creatures,” he shared.

 

His job takes him sailing across many different areas, including the Atlantic Ocean, the Norwegian Sea, and the Barents Sea. He explained to Bored Panda that he and his fellow fishermen work in six-hour cycles when aboard a trawler. That means that they work for six hours, rest for six hours, and then repeat everything.

Roman said that it has been so long since he saw his first strange sea creature, that he can’t remember the exact time anymore. “It was too much time ago when I caught my first deep-sea fish. I think it looked like any of the fish that I am catching now,” he told Bored Panda.

 

According to the fisherman, the strange creatures that they catch on the trawler live between 300 meters and 1 kilometer underneath the surface of the ocean. “Some of the sea creatures are still alive when they are on board the ship, and we set them free. But mostly, they do not survive, unfortunately,” he was very open about the fact that not every peculiar fish makes it back to their homes in the dark ocean depths.

The specialist from PINRO was very surprised when he saw this fish for his very first time, but, anyway, he was able to tell me what kind of fish it is.⠀ He also, mentioned that, that type of fish is very uncommon to find here, that is why this fish has no particular name in Russian language. Here we are!

I have been sharing my photos of deep-sea creatures for some years and of course, I was surprised by the popularity of my accounts at the present moment,” he said that he wanted to spread awareness about how some of these creatures look like across the internet because they left a very deep impression on him. Roman has always had a very curious outlook towards these fish and other denizens of the deep: they don’t scare him, even though they might frighten us

Roman has been working onboard trawlers for the past two decades. “I live in Murmansk, Russia. It is a big port, and that’s why I enrolled in the Marine University after school. My specialization has a lot to do with fishing technology. I know how to prepare fish for freezing and further delivery to the customer,” he told Bored Panda during an earlier interview.

 

“We are to catch commercial fish such as Cod, Haddock, Halibut, Redfish, Herring, Mackerel, and so on. The most extreme fish I have ever caught are Frilled Shark, Rabbitfish, Big Sunfish, Angler, Stoplight Loosejaw,” he said earlier.

 

“During my watch, I work at the fish factory. I’m responsible for processing the fish, so I have to control other seamen while they’re working, too,” Roman explained what his job on the trawler was.

“I have had a person start vomiting underwater while guiding a group and other stupid behavior or panicked divers, but you train and get taught how to deal with those things which makes it more manageable.

“I had a humpback whale swim over us which was pretty awesome,” the diver said. “And diving with manta rays is always stunning. Unfortunately, I have never found any treasure, but I have found some shark’s teeth.”

They are just different from what we are used to seeing on land. Different does not mean bad. It means diverse and fascinating.
