    Now that's a jelly fish! Stunned fisherman catches wobbly shrimp-like creature that's completely see-through

    Stewart Fraser was fishing 43 miles north off the Karikari Peninsula
    He plucked the bizarre creature from the water and took a photo
    It has baffled Mr Fraser and all of his fisherman friends
    But aquarium tells MailOnline the creature is called a Salpa maggiore

    A fisherman from New Zealand was left baffled when he caught this see-through shrimp-like creature swimming near the surface of the ocean.

    Stewart Fraser was fishing with sons Conaugh and Finn 43 miles north off the North Island's Karikari Peninsula when he spotted the translucent 'shrimp' floating near the top of the water.

    Mr Fraser said: 'I was in two minds whether to haul it in, but curiosity got the better of me and I decided to take a closer look.

    Lots of interesting creatures in the sea that have rarely been seen (or never seen before). Pretty cool!
