A “very rare” venomous deepwater fish has been found near a popular Merseyside beach.
Steven Mayes was fishing off the Wirral coast near New Brighton when he found what he believes is a bluemouth rockfish, a small predatory fish often seen between 150 and 400 metres under the sea and sometimes as deep as 1,000m.
