It's a hoax.
The fish pictured were actually collected during a joint New Zealand and Australia Norfolk Ridge - Lord Howe Rise Biodiversity Voyage (NORFANZ) undertaken between May and June 2003.

According to NORFANZ, the fish pictured were captured during a series of over 150 deep water trawls in depths of up to 2000m

They are doing great! Pugsley has his own demolition company and Wednesday is on her fifth husband! All the others past away the poor souls.

Why do deep sea fish look so freaky? The teeth, elogated lower jaws, tranparancy - they just are so alien looking.

Because nothing can see them anyway. It's pitch black down there. Makes you wonder what people might look like if there was absolutely no light.
