A 15-foot-long giant fish washed ashore in Chile. They are distinguished by their shiny silver color, long red horn-like limbs and strangely shaped faces. The oar fish was found off the coast of Isla Talcan, Desertoras Island, Chile. People believe that oar fish coming to the shore is a harbinger of upcoming natural disasters. Oar fish can grow up to 50 feet in length. But what washed ashore in Chile was a relatively small fish.
Locals see the arrival of oar fish as a sign of impending natural disasters. They live about 1640 feet below sea level. Why these occur is still a mystery. A conclusion is that they may be injured and reach the shore when the sea is rough. There is another argument that it may come here in search of prey. But what is most relevant is another argument. The Japanese believe that they come to the coast as an earthquake warning. Ore 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 capable of sensing even the slightest movement on the ground. The Japanese believe that the omens come to the coast usually before disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Although there is no scientific evidence for their belief, the reason for its strengthening is the earthquake in Fukushima in 2011. More than fifteen thousand people lost their lives in the disaster that day. Before this disaster, about a dozen oar fish had washed up on the coast of Japan.
They are found at depths of about 660 to 3280 feet below sea level. They have a shiny silver body and red fins. In Japan, oar fish are known as namasu. Locals believe that these fish are the emissaries of the sea king’s palace. There are three categories of oar fish. The largest of these are the oar fish, the Japanese messengers of death. Their food is small fishes, prawns and jelly fishes. They live in the deep sea and rarely reach the shore. The researchers concluded that the changes in the sea due to global warming may be the reason for the beaching of oar fish in the deep sea.
