A rare fish on the high seas considered a sign of Doom before-run has failed on a beach of the Canary Islands.
Avion fish was discovered by Lanzarote feachers on February 10, arousing fears among the superstitious.
Long -shaped fish fish generally inhabit the mesopelagic area, a region of deep water where light cannot penetrate.
They are often called “apocalyptic fish” because of their mythical reputation for predictions of the earthquake or natural disasters. During the months preceding the 2011 earthquake, 20 rap fish were discovered on Japanese beaches.
A video from the moment when the silver fish with its characteristic orange fins has been discovered has received more than nine million views on Instagram.
In the video, a man wearing swimwear approaches the stranded Oarfish, which is referred to the “messenger of the sea god” or Ryūgū no tsukai in Japanese folklore.
This specific aircraft fish occurred on the coast of Playa Quemada, although it is difficult to examine because it prefers habitats on the high seas.
When two Oarfish was washed on the Californian beaches in 2013, scientists said they may have died due to seismic activity under the seabed that occurs days or weeks before an earthquake.
Another possibility is that before an earthquake, there is a release of large quantities of carbon monoxide gas, which could also affect oarfish fish and other creatures on the high seas.
A user commented the fish video on the coast of Playa Quemada: “Something bad will happen.”
Another commented: “They show up before natural disasters.”
A third user agreed: “Usually it means that an earthquake arrives when it appears on the surface of the water.”
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
When we were washed on the banks of California last year, Rachel Grant, lecturer in animal biology at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said at the time that there could be a certain truth In the ancient Japanese legend that the appearance of Oarfish precedes an earthquake.
“It is theoretically possible because when an earthquake occurs, there may be an accumulation of pressure in rocks which can cause electrostatic loads which cause the release of electrically loaded ions in the water,” said Dr. Grant.
“This can lead to the formation of hydrogen peroxide, which is a toxic compound. The loaded ions can also oxidize the organic matter which could either kill the fish, or force them to leave the deep ocean and to note on the surface. »»
