Since 2010, a deep-sea fish rarely observed by humans has increasingly been appearing along shorelines around the world.  According to Japanese folklore, oarfish rise to the surface and beach themselves to warn humans of impending earthquakes.

Occupying ocean depths up to 3,000 feet below the surface, one of the earliest photographs of the reclusive oarfish was taken in 1996 - a dead specimen that washed ashore near San Diego, California.


The first live specimen wasn't filmed until in 2001, when U.S. Navy personnel in the Bahamas encountered an oarfish at sea while performing a buoy inspection.

Since Planet X, aka Nibiru, arrived in the inner solar system in 2003, reports of these extremely rare encounters have skyrocketed.

The Zetas explain:

"These deep ocean fish as all surface or land based animals are sensitive to stress the rock beneath them is enduring. Just as land animals flee the electromagnetic screeches that rock under pressure release, sea life likewise attempts to flee. For deep ocean fish, there is less of this screeching on the surface, because it is further away from the rock."  ZetaTalk GLP Live - March 6, 2010

By 2010, oarfish were appearing off the coasts of Japan, England and California. Shortly before the great 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, about 20 oarfish stranded themselves on beaches in the area according to Mark Benfield, a researcher at Louisiana State University.

Found along the California coast twice in 2013 and filmed swimming along the Mexican coast in 2014, sightings of struggling oarfish around the world soared in 2015 with at least ten reported incidents.  There have already been five documented encounters with oarfish in 2016 in the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan and New Zealand as of May 20.

"We have explained when oarfish were coming to the surface off Japan prior to large quakes in Japan that they were doing so to flee the electromagnetic screech that rock under pressure emits.  What does their appearance off the coast of southern California portend?  For several years, while describing the 7 of 10 plate movements and the pressure these movements would place upon the continents, we have described the N America bow. The center of this bow is approximately San Diego, ie southern California!  The N American Plate abuts the Pacific Plate at this point, with no minor plate to absorb the pressure. The Pacific is compressing, under continuous pressure to do so, and N America is bowing, in an unrelenting and increasing manner.

For the oarfish in the area, there is no escape! They come up from the deep and while on the surface, get caught in wave action that impels them to the beach."  ZetaTalk Chat Q&A - October 16, 2013

18-foot Oarfish Discovered off Southern California (Oct 13)

A marine science instructor's late-afternoon snorkel off the Southern California coast last Sunday was first met with shock and soon excitement when she discovered a gigantic oarfish, a deep-sea creature that remains little known to the science world and people outside.

Jasmine Santana was about 15 feet underwater when she found the 18-foot-long, silvery fish with reddish fins and eyes the size of a half-dollar staring at her from the sandy bottom. Realizing it was dead, she snatched the fish's tail, and using buoyancy and low tides, powered her way back on shore.

After a 15-minute swim dragging the 400-pound carcass, she needed help from 14 others to lift the fish out of the water at Toyon Bay, California.

Second Rare Oarfish Washes Up in Southern California (Oct 18)

For the second time in a week, the rare, serpentine oarfish has surfaced on a Southern California beach.
Beach goers at Oceanside Harbor crossed paths Friday afternoon with the deep-sea monster when its carcass washed ashore, Oceanside Police Officer Mark Bussey said. The fish measured 13 ½ feet long.

The discovery came just days after an 18-foot dead oarfish was found in the waters off Catalina Island.
“The call came out as a possible dead whale stranded on the beach, so we responded and saw the fish on the sand right as it washed up,” Bussey said.

Bussey added that people on the beach were “flabbergasted” to see the fish.

“It’s not the typical fish you see on shore,” he said, adding the oarfish probably weighed over 200 pounds.
But Bussey recognized the fish from the sighting less than a week ago off Catalina Island. Jasmine Santana, a science instructor for the Catalina Marine Institute was snorkeling off Toyon Bay when she discovered the body of the creature on a seabed.

The fish was far too big for Santana to carry alone; it took 15 people to bring the fish to shore.

Rare Oarfish Washes Up In New Zealand (Apr 16)

A nearly 10-foot-long oarfish was found at a salt marsh near Otago Harbor in Aramoana on Thursday. The local who found the scaly animal called Department of Conservation service manager David Agnew, who said it’s the first time he's spotted such a creature in his 20 years on the job.  Agnew told the Daily Mail he had never even heard of an oarfish before.

“It’s incredibly rare to see them in New Zealand,” he said.

By Friday, the fish had disappeared, and it’s unclear if the body was washed away by the tide or removed by humans.

Hapless Oarfish Snagged by Fishing Boat off California (Jun 29)

A fishing boat passenger unknowingly snagged an oarfish and brought it to the surface off Catalina Island yesterday.  Even though it was snagged, this is the first ever report of an oarfish caught on rod and reel.
This marks the sixth time this year the extremely rare oarfish has been encountered by humans.  The crew tried to gaff and raise the 20-foot fish to the boat. The soft flesh only tore, and they had to give up the effort.

Another Rare Oarfish Appears in Philippines (Jul 23)


For the seventh time in six months, the extremely rare deep water oarfish has made an appearance.
Julie Miranda was fishing near Antique in Barangay Indalog on Thursday when he saw a shark chasing a big fish.  Shortly after, the shark swam off and the big fish started to float.  Miranda loaded the fish onto his boat and brought it to shore.  But the fish was no ordinary find. It was a 10-foot long oarfish weighing 31 pounds.

“It was our first time to see a very big and very long fish in this town. Even the old villagers do not know the local name of this fish,” said Lourdes Sarad, municipal agricultural officer of Tobias Fornier.

Third Oarfish in Three Weeks Found in Philippines (Aug 13)

Another oarfish, the third so far in a span of three weeks, was caught by fishermen in Antique’s Belison town on Thursday afternoon.  The dying oarfish, measuring 12 feet and nine inches long and three inches in diameter, was found by fisherman Pablo Crespo at 1:20 p.m. in the small canal by the shore of Barangay Maradiona, Belison, some 15 kilometers away from the capital town of San Jose.

The fisherman called other residents and they pulled out the oarfish from the water. The fish was still alive, but was so weak and died a few minutes later. 

Barangay Chairman Raymundo Quintayo said that the barangay folk were not familiar with the oarfish as it was the first time they saw one. They called up the local police and turned over the fish.  Weighing 44 pounds, it was so far the biggest oarfish found in the shores of Antique.

On July 23 at around 6:30 in the morning fishermen in Anini-y town also found a wounded oarfish measuring more than eight feet.  A week later, another one was found by fishermen in Bugasong town.

Rare oarfish, regarded as omens of natural disasters, found alive in Japan

One of the oarfish tore in half after being loaded onto a ship and was partially eaten by one of the fishermen, the Japan Times reported. The other died after arriving on land. "The two oarfish were swimming vigorously in the nets," said Satomi Higa of the Yomitan's fisheries cooperative association. "They looked mysterious and beautiful."

A number of dead oarfish have washed up in Japanand Peru this year, sparking fear that another earthquake or tsunami may be on the horizon.

Traditionally known as "Ryugu no tsukai" in Japanese, or the "Messenger from the Sea God's Palace," legend has it that they beach themselves on shores ahead of underwater earthquakes.

Phantom of the Deep Sea fish caught in Japan

 https://kvoa.com/news/2018/12/04/phantom-of-the-deep-sea-fish-caugh...

 

Posted: December 4, 2018,

 JAPAN – People in Northern Japan were amazed at the sight of a rarely seen fish over the weekend.

During the traditional winter festival on Sado Island in the Sea of Japan, people gathered to eat fresh-caught amberjack.

But one of the fish was not an amberjack, instead it was an oarfish.

They’re known in Japan as the Phantom of the Deep Sea.

Oarfish inhabit the Pacific Rim from the tropics to subtropics and was about seven feet long.

Experts said little is known about the oarfish.

The cold ocean currents increase in the winter and bring the warmer currents close to shore, bringing the oarfish with them. Apparently the one caught was in a net set for amberjack.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This story was written based off a story from NBC News Channel.

Massive ‘sea monster’ hooked by Chilean fishing boat

 We’ve long been told that monsters aren’t real, but after copping a look at this guy, we’re not so sure.

 https://pickle.nine.com.au/2018/07/10/13/18/sea-monster-caught-fish...

 Because this odd fella certainly fits the vague definition of “sea monster”.

It weighed nearly 150kg, was nearly 5m long and looked like a giant sardine from hell.

This thing was hauled into a fishing boat in Cavancha Cove, off the coast of Chilean town Iquique.

As we read from a yarn from Chilean journo Jhosaida Piñango Hernández for Estrella Iquique, this great, gross thing is actually a female oarfish.

The fishing company’s coordinator Rodrigo Oliva passed the big girl on to researchers at Arturo Prat University so it could be studied.

But first, they snapped a whooole bunch of photos, which made for an interesting post on their Facebook page.

Vision of the fish on the boat is now going nuts online, being splashed on viral news site the world over.

Researcher Miguel Araya said the finding was “unprecedented” given there were no previous records of the presence of oarfish in the Iquique area.

“They are deep-sea fish so one must assume that if they are on the surface it is because they are sick or injured,” he said.

Despite this, the dead oarfish didn’t present any signs of injury..."

Dead Oarfish Spotted Once Again In Philippines (Apr 5) 

A dead oarfish was spotted once again in the coastal area of Salay River II in Salay, Misamis Oriental and being linked to an impending calamity.

On Thursday (April 05, 2018), the Facebook page “Local Government Unit of Salay” has uploaded the photos of a dead oarfish found in Salay River II.

According to the Municipal Agriculture Office of the city, the oarfish is measuring about 16 feet in length, 1.16 ft. in width, and a weight ranging from 50 to 60 kilograms.

The deep-sea creature was already dead when the members of Deputized Fish Warden (DFW) of Salay arrived.

The personnel of together with DFW and Bantay Dagat members will dispose of the oarfish to prevent the residents from eating or selling the sea creature.

Last year, the appearance of oarfish in shallow waters has been linked to series of earthquakes experienced in different parts of the countries.

The Japanese Seismologist Kiyoshi Wadatsumi explained that deep-sea creatures are sensitive when it comes to any irregularities happening in the bottom of the sea.

Wadatsumi said that the appearance of oarfish in shallow waters indicates that something is happening in the deep.
