Beautiful Fish: Unicornfish -By Al Bezanson

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns
 

With Gloucester awash from a wicked storm nobody knows what may swim into town.  If you come upon a creature like this please notify NOAA, for the unicornfish is quite rare.   According  to Fishes of the Gulf of Maine by Bigelow and Schroeder (1953) only two specimens have been found, both caught on the western edge of Georges in 1930 by the schooner OLD GLORY.
