A scorpionfish (Poss's scorpionfish: Scorpaenopsis possi) is trapped in a discarded fishing net, which has continued ghost fishing and is still killing fish. I released this fish from the net after taking this photo. Ambon Bay, Ambon, Maluku Archipelago, Indonesia. Banda Sea, tropical west Pacific Ocean.
