Rare forty five kilogram tropical fish discovered on US beach
A large colourful fish washed ashore on the US coast last week in what aquarium officials called a rare occurrence.
The 45 kilogram opah fish, also known as a moonfish, was discovered on Sunset Beach in Seaside, a city in the northwest side of Oregon.
The fish is "rare to the Oregon Coast," Seaside Aquarium said in a Facebook post along with several images of the one metre fish.
