Rare School of Spotted Ratfish With Juvenile Cod in 4K

This 4K underwater clip captures a highly unusual and visually rich moment at the bottom of a deep wall, where a small school of more than eight spotted ratfish (Chimaera) swims calmly together. In the foreground and midwater, a school of what appears to be juvenile Pacific cod drifts by, creating a layered, dynamic frame filled with motion and biodiversity. This type of grouping is rare ratfish are usually solitary or seen in pairs, making the scene particularly valuable for cold water marine biology, deep reef documentation, or editorial storytelling. Filmed with a 16–35mm wide-angle lens, the shot provides strong depth and scale, with both species clearly visible and active in the same space. Both graded and ungraded versions are included with your purchase.
