Oarfish: Giant Messengers of the Deep
Offers an insightful look into the mysterious oarfish, the world’s longest bony fish, and the myths surrounding it as a supposed prophet of natural disasters in Japanese folklore. It explains that these deep-sea dwellers are rarely observed alive and usually appear on shores only when injured or dying, fueling superstitions that their presence predicts earthquakes or tsunamis. However, the narration clarifies that such associations are coincidental, as seismic activity can alter deep-sea currents, bringing the weakened fish closer to the surface. Alongside its scientific explanation of the oarfish’s biology, habitat, and vulnerability, the text also includes a sponsorship segment for Raycon earbuds before concluding with a call for citizen science participation to help monitor and protect this elusive species.
