The Institute for Fisheries Development (IFOP) collected samples to understand the reasons why it may have appeared on the beach.
247 A rare fish was caught last Friday morning off the coast of Arica, Chile. Called the oarfish, the animal is not often seen in the region and is associated with a popular Japanese legend that attributes it to attracting tsunamis, earthquakes or cyclones. This report is from the newspaper O Globo.
The legend resurfaced in 2011 with a tsunami on the island of Honshu, off the Pacific coast, when one of these animals reappeared after years without being seen in the area. According to belief, the fish lived in the depths of the waters near a Japanese island and was responsible for the earthquake when it decided to return to the surface, said to be the “messenger” of the palace of the god of the sea. , However, science has yet to confirm these popular beliefs.
The Institute for Fisheries Development (IFOP) collected samples to find out why it appeared on the coast. According to the institute, the appearance of the animal off the coast of Chile is very unusual. The animal belongs to a class of fish with large bones and usually lives between 200 and 500 m depth, but has been found at 1,000 m.
On social media, you can see the long, bony fish being hoisted by the head as fishermen transfer it to land. The fish was 5.8 meters long.
