Bullet points of Extremely rare "doomsday fish" found off California coast
- Kayakers and snorkelers in Southern California encountered a rare oarfish, known for signaling disasters.
- Only around 20 of these massive, silvery fish have been spotted in over 120 years in California.
- The 12-foot-long oarfish was discovered deceased close to La Jolla Cove, a rare event as they typically dwell in deep waters.
- Scientists are carrying out a necropsy to establish the reason for death.
- Oarfish have been connected to earthquakes, with sightings before Japan's 2011 earthquake and a recent one prior to a 4.4 magnitude quake in California.
