    Breeding this fish 'en masse' and bringing it into the aquarium trade could create a (admittedly slightly) artificial second reservoir for the species. They are very cute, apparently thrive in brackish water - a real challenge for the advanced fishkeeper - and reproduce in captivity. Before they are completely extinct measures need to be taken to ensure the survival of this very lovely fish.

      There's a National Geographic article from october 2020 that says the Smooth Handfish is extinct, last seen in the 1800s.
      The Spotted Handfish, depicted on this video, isn't extinct yet, but listed as critically endangered.

    Incredible!! Well worth a gander for anyone interested in these fascinating Hand Fish from the shores of Australia. There is literally so much *alien* (Others such as the Frog fish and Incredible Mimic Octopus ) type of creatures that we know so little about, that swim, glide, creep and crawl across the ocean floor.
    Faced with the possibility of extinction, until Science stepped up, intervened and developed an awesome workaround to the problem that literally plagued them! Thank You once again Science!!!
    If this isn't enough proof of Evolution in the making then I bloody don't know what is! Science Is Awesomeness defined!!

    It feels surreal watching this video knowing that we'll never see another living specimen of this special fish. I think UA-cam will eventually be the archive for many species that become extinct.

      mike simon We are not 100% sure if Brachionichthys hirsutus made an appearance on the show, but if ourmemories of the very strange Courage the Cowardly Dog cartoon are correct, then
      the Spotted Handfish would be right at home in Courage's wacky world!

    My immediate interest, is that PLASTIC can play a beneficial role in positive environmental outcomes. We see that plastic waste in rivers and oceans is a killer when ingested by all the creatures that eat it, and yet here, we have a story where it can be thoughtfully used for the good of a species without negative effects.

      Hey did u know that the fish in the video is actually the modern spinosaurs? Its obvious it has similarities.
      (Similarities: has a sail on the back and a small one in the head / its walks with 2 legs and sometimes goes on with 4 legs)

    Couldn't they check their DNA to find any entities from the oils being dumped ? At least check in their system because I'm sure if they already did that it would have been stated on this video instead it sounds like they are only suggesting that being the cause of their deaths...

    I understand saving a species if Humans are the ones who pushed it into extinction directly/indirectly, but if it gets to the point where a species can no longer survive WITHOUT our continued intervention, should be not let them go extinct?
    While these fish are essential proof of evolution, is it not playing god to step in the way of their evolutionary dead end?
    I take it back if the pollution in the area, or species introduced by humans (Like crayfish in AZ) is killing off what the plastic is imitating.
