Rare 'doomsday fish' caught by fishermen off Tiwi Islands in Australia

Quick Summary:

Oarfish, scientifically named Regalecus glesne, can grow up to nine metres in length.

In Japan, oarfish are steeped in folklore as harbingers of disaster, a belief that has persisted for centuries.

While these occurrences continue to fuel superstitions, scientists have found no evidence linking oarfish sightings with seismic activity.
