AN OBSCURE FISH SIGHTED
IN JAPAN BY TRAWLERS
Pleasant commercial fishing was interrupted
several months ago when local Nemuro
fisherman reported strange creatures seen
swimming near the northern tip of Hokkaido
Island off Japan.
HOKKAIDO| A fish trawler from a small
town near a port city in Japan
discovered a strange creature in his
fishing net while fishing.
Hokkaido - An elder fish trawler, Eji Akihiro,
a 74-year-old man several miles east off the
port city of Nemuro, fishing. He thrust his
net into the river to catch some fishes as his
daily activities, but he discovered a fifty
meter long snake like creature breathing
among the fishes. Akihiro thought the
creeping monster must be from the whale
because it had luminous eyes found on the
dorsal surface of its head which was believed
to live deep within the lowest portions of the
ocean floor. The Japanese marine officials
were informed about the monster for
investigation.
"I felt the heaviness of the net. All my
thought was that I have caught different
species of fish. But to my surprise, I found a
creeping monster among the fishes. At first,
I was scared of seeing its glowing eyes. Then
I thought it might be from the whale
because I have never seen such a thing for
the past fourteen years I have been fishing
here," Eji Akihiro said.
A few months back, it has been reported by
some of the fish trawlers that several more
animals of the same description were seen
far away in the middle of the fishing armada
but which the authorities speedily discharged
the possibilities.
"We are not surprised Mr. Akihiro saw that
monster. I and some other fish trawlers saw
two monsters in the middle of the sea
shallows some months ago. We informed the
coast guard but we were told that there has
been no existence of a dinosaur off Japan,
but just a superstition. After so much
persuasion, we were told to provide them
with evidence," Mr. Akinari, a fish trawler
added.
After several close sightings and panicked
reports by fisherman near Nemuro, the
Japanese Coast Guard, in conjunction with
United States Naval assistance, begin searching
the entire sighting locations for unusual activity.
Coast Guard Sea Rescue and surface patrols
keep the area on high alert in case boats are
either swamped or attacked by the strange
monster fish.
Furthermore, the marine officials had their
investigations about the creeping creature
seen by the fisherman and they believed
that it is a rare, prehistoric eel like frilled
shark by the name of (Chlamydoselachus
anguineus) in gigantic proportions. Professor
Banri Hatsuo and team of biologists from the
Faculty of Oceanographic Science at the
Hokkaido University have been informed to
investigate this strange creature, which they
explained was similar to a specimen of the
frilled shark caught off the coast of Australia,
the prehistoric Chlamydoselachus family. Its
lineage is thought to date back to the Late
Cretaceous period, 95 million years ago.
However, the marine officials admit that it is
unusual to understand how the species
found its way to Hokkaido in Japan, although
a few of the two meter animals have been
caught by Japanese fishing ships.
'However, "Professor Hatsuo reported, "while
this specimen resembled a frill shark in form,
the actual size (fifty meters) far more hints
to ancient fossils found in the North China
Craton in the Korean Peninsula off Gunsan,
near the Yellow Sea. It reminds me of a
legendary creature that was mentioned in
the ‘A Commentary on the Book of Gates’ by
Jebidiah Smith in 1868. Is it possible that
some fancies do indeed have some basis in
hard archaeology?"
An eye witness has also reported seeing
some strange creatures for almost two-three
weeks at the Akkeshi port city, just
southwest of Nemuro while having a
vacation with her fiancé.

fisherman from the port city of Nemuro has
fished these waters with his father and
grandfather for over 100 years. While Mr.
Akihiro said he has seen many strange animals
come from the sea in his nets, never before has
he seen such an animal. (Insert) The
description of the creature from eyewitness
reports, the M'gartha.
"My fiance and I decided to have a nice time
together, so we chose Akkeshi. Throughout
the 8 weeks, we spent there, we saw some
strange creatures every night. Some look
like giant snakes, which were showing
aggressive behavior. My fiancé was nearly
attacked by one of the creatures, so we ran
from the beach that minute," Akari, a 28-
year-old woman reported.
The marine officials admit that the marine
operators had received frequent calls from
almost all the region reporting about the
creatures, which was linked to the event
before the moment.

"Truly, the marine operators received
different calls frequently from almost all the
regions about some creatures sighted at
some coastal ports in the country before this
incidence," Marine Officer Fuyuki Gaku said.
The marine operators and scientists pleaded
to the citizens of the communities to never
relent with their often calls to the marine
operators and scientists which are
determined to come to the rescue of the
people of the areas and also implored the
public to quickly report any strange activities
that could also prove helpful in solving the
strange case that has been going on the
environment.
