Description

A Sea Raven found in Point Judith Pond. It was found alive struggling at the surface trying to re-submerge. Someone must have caught and released it, however these fish tend to gulp air when taken out of the water and are unable to subsequently purge it. So they just float at the surface trying to get down, but can't again.
