Doomsday fish appears for the second time on an American beach.. What is the significance of its appearance?

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - A California beach in the United States of America witnessed a new appearance of a huge dead oarfish, known as the &quot;Doomsday Fish&quot;, as it reached a length of about 10 feet (equivalent to 3 meters). This is the second appearance in just three months, despite its rare appearance.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Oarfish and its relationship to earthquakes in Japanese mythology</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The oarfish is a prophetic symbol in Japanese mythology, with its appearance believed to be linked to earthquakes and environmental disasters. This belief is based on previous observations, most notably the appearance of 20 oarfish on Japanese beaches before the 2011 earthquake.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Oarfish Discovered by Scripps Institution of Oceanography</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The fish was discovered by a doctoral student on Encinitas Beach, according to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California. The report says the fish lives in deep waters where light does not reach, making it sensitive to seismic movements.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>The name &quot;Doomsday Fish&quot; and the reasons for its association with seismic activity</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> It is nicknamed the doomsday fish because of its long, ribbon-like shape and rare appearances that precede natural disasters. Environmental seismologist Kiyoshi Wadatsumi said the oarfish is sensitive to changes caused by active fault movements, supporting its appearance as being linked to seismic activity.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><p lang="en" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Second &#39;doomsday&#39; oarfish washes up on California beach in three months <a href="https://t.co/5et8f9cIHw">https://t.co/5et8f9cIHw</a> <a href="https://t.co/cJuVAEtzqC">pic.twitter.com/cJuVAEtzqC</a></p> — New York Post (@nypost) <a href="https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1857866699799663050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etf... 16, 2024</a> </blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Rare Oarfish Appears Through Time</strong></h3><ol style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Another massive oarfish was found last August in the same area, measuring 12 feet long and weighing more than 30 kilograms.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Since 1901, oarfish have been recorded in California only 20 times.</li></ol><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>The Scientific Link Between Oarfish and Earthquakes</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In 2013, two oarfish washed up on California beaches.
