JAKARTA - A giant oarfish washed up on La Jolla beach in San Diego, California, United States. For some people, the appearance of this fish will have an impact on the earthquake.

And coincidentally, the area then experienced an earthquake just two days after the fish's appearance. Based on information from the UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the discovery of this fish was reported by a team consisting of kayak rioters and swimmers incidentally snorkeling in the waters of La Jolla Cove

After that, they took the marine creatures from the ocean to the back of the truck using a rowing board. Then the oarfish were handed over to the Scripps Institution.

"Thanks to the hard work of local residents, scientists will be able to learn more about this mysterious species because this species will be part of the Marine Vertebrata Collection in Scrips, one of the largest deep-sea fish collections in the world," said Brittany Hook, Assistant Director of Communications for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

According to the Scrips Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, he has been the 20th oceanfish stranded in California since 1901. Zachary Heiple, a doctoral student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who studied the evolution of deep-sea fish, said that the oarfsih DNA samples would explain why they evolved to have strange appearances.

Oarfish themselves live in the deep sea and are rarely seen by humans. They can grow with a length of up to 11 meters. The population is spread around the world, with the main food being rypto and krustsea.
