rkennedy2Description
This was found east coast of Haida Gwaii on 14 February 2017 north of Skidegate (~53.3N 131.9W). Approximate dimensions were 30 cm X6 cm. No one has been able to confidently identify it yet. We have talked to a couple of marine biologists, the best they can say is some type of eel larvae. What species?
