Rare monster caught in Chile

Chilean fishermen caught a giant crested herring (Regalecus glesne) 5 meters long. Typically, the length of such fish from the belt-bodied family is 1-2 meters.

Fish rarely appears on the surface and is considered a harbinger of disaster.

About it writes news18.com.

The length of the herring king can exceed five meters, and the maximum weight of the fish reaches 250 kg. The fish lives in the tropical zones of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans, the Mediterranean, as well as the northeastern part of the Atlantic Ocean.

In the maritime folklore of some countries, including Chile and the Philippines, the herring king is considered a harbinger of trouble and an imminent cataclysm.

In particular, these fish are called “earthquake fish” in Taiwan because they are believed to emerge from the depths just before strong earthquakes.

Recall that in waters of North Carolina, an American managed to catch fish from a rare species of perciformes.
