Catalina Island Marine Institute has found an 18-foot oarfish near the coast of Catalina Island making every employee very happy but they are now wondering what should they do with this rare carcass.

Program director of the institute, Jeff Chace informed that the discovery has amazed him and as many as 15 people were on the job this weekend to pull out the huge serpent-like creature lying motionless in just about 20 feet of water.

Giant oarfish species is suupossed to be the longest in the group leaving all others behind at an amazing length of 56 feet.

The discovered carcass is just about 18 feet but it can be quiet a challenge for the scientists still.

The marine institute immediately sent out samples to different scientists and are now waiting for some feedback.

While awaiting results the institute does not know what to do with the carcass or where to store it.

Though chace calls it a once-in-a-lifetiem discovery his staff does not know the answer to the question, "what do we do with it now?"

Institute staff is now wondering about the future of the carcass which is rare but still has not fate.

They are toying with several options, one of them being the burial of the carcass and letting it decompose over few months in three feet deep sand.

If they do take this option, they will mount the skeleton of the fish for display.
