Original Note:
The notion that oarfish only surface when a catastrophic event is imminent—the so-called "doomsday fish" legend—is purely myth and not supported by scientific evidence. Their appearance on shore is typically due to natural factors rather than a predictor of disasters. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/16/oarfish-san-diego
