Deep sea crawling fish (800 meters...)

[KOMPRESSOR]

Can anyone tell me what kind of fish this might be? A friend of mine took this picture on his ROW-watch in the North Sea. Estimated lenght about 30 cm. It never left the mud, kind of crawling forward...

Forward it to Dr. Richard Haedrich at Memorial University in Newfoundland. He's a deep-sea fish guy.

Looks like an Eelpout to me. They can go to those depths I believe.
