I created this web page after receiving these amazing pictures today at work.

Hope you find them as amazing as we did.

As far as I know these pictures have nothing to do with the Tsunami and have been around for a long time. There was another thread with them a few weeks ago.

Here you go:

Please take down the website. It's an internet-propagated fraud. All of those photos come from the NORFANZ oceanographic expedition in May of 2003. They are also copyrighted. As a fellow deep sea biologist doing similar work to the NORFANZ folks, it pains me to see their hard-wrought work so publicly abused.

Please inform anyone else who you think has these photos, as to their true origin, and respectfully ask them not to post them publicly without proper consent and acknowledgement from the NORFANZ expedition members.

Ditto - they're copyright images, they're not tsunami fish, take it down.

Thanks Archman, see the attached link for the correct info.
Web page will be changed to this link today, and photo's removed.

Sorry everyone, sometime I hate the Internet, for these pointless excersizes.

They ARE great pictures, better than my own personal collection I'm ashamed to say. But those internet scammers really suck, stealing other peoples' work and maligning it.

Welcome to the board, 49th! Don't worry, most of the pictures here aren't fraudulent.

Woo hoo! I'm not the only one!

Actually, I thought the tsunami claim was a little *ehrm* fishy, but it's hard to resist passing on pictures of such cool creatures.

How many times will this claim return on SB is more of an interesting concern.
