The 12-foot-long silvery oarfish was spotted last weekend by snorkelers and kayakers at La Jolla Cove, located north of downtown San Diego, as reported by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. This marks only the 20th instance of an oarfish washing up in California since 1901, noted fish expert Ben Frable from the institution. Scripps also mentioned that oarfish are often associated with myths about predicting natural disasters or earthquakes, although no scientific link has been established. These fish can exceed lengths of 20 feet and typically inhabit a deep ocean region known as the mesopelagic zone, where sunlight does not penetrate, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Swimmers transported the oarfish from La Jolla Cove on a paddleboard before placing it in a pickup truck. Scientists from NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center and Scripps planned to conduct a necropsy on Friday to investigate its cause of death.
