A giant 15-foot-long fish has washed ashore in Chile. They are distinguished by their bright silver color, long red horn-like limbs, and oddly shaped faces. Oarfish have been found off the coast of Isla Talcan, Desertoras Island, Chile. People believe that oarfish that wash ashore are a harbinger of impending natural disasters. Oarfish can grow up to 50 feet long. But what washed ashore in Chile was a relatively small fish.
Locals see the arrival of oarfish as a sign of impending natural disasters. They live about 1640 feet below sea level. Why these occur is still a mystery. One conclusion is that they can be injured and reach shore when the sea is rough. There is another subject that may be prowling here. But what is more relevant is another topic. The Japanese believe they come to the coast as a warning of an earthquake – mineral fish are huge fish that can predict natural disasters such as tsunamis. For the Japanese who live in the shadow of the threat of earthquakes, the arrival of fish portends disaster.
These creatures are able to sense even the slightest movement on the ground. The Japanese believe that omens usually come to the coast before disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Although there is no scientific evidence for their belief, the reason for its strengthening is the Fukushima earthquake in 2011. More than fifteen thousand people lost their lives in the disaster that day. Prior to this disaster, about a dozen rowfish washed up on the coast of Japan.
Found at depths of approximately 660 to 3280 feet below sea level, they have a shiny silvery body and red fins. In Japan, oarfish are known as namasu. Locals believe that these fish are emissaries from the sea king’s palace. There are three categories of rowfish. The largest of these are oarfish, the Japanese messengers of death. Their food is small fish, shrimp and jellyfish. They live in the deep sea and rarely reach the shore. Researchers concluded that changes in the sea due to global warming could be the reason for rowfish stranding in the deep sea.
