It could have been a doll, dressed up in fish scales.
Either way, that thing looks pretty nasty._______________

Its some really impressive Crypto-taxidermy, honestly! It is a pretty good deal considering how much time it would've taken to assemble and preserve..
google FeeJee Mermaid, you'll get a lot of hits.
One site in particular:

Check out the fine print:
lmao!!The winner to this auction will recieve the sea creature shown in the photos below. The photos have not been altered or retouched nor are they result of photo shop. The entire body has been determined to be covered in once living fish skin with scales. I have drilled a small hole in the back of the head so that it can be hung up on a wall for display._______________
