Have you heard of it? Recently, a group of fishermen in Chile caught a strange fish nearly 5 meters long in the sea! With such a huge size, people even had to use a crane to barely drag it to the shore!
According to local people, this kind of strange fish not only looks scary, but when people encounter this kind of strange fish, it is often accompanied by disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Therefore, in many countries, people call it "the messenger of the devil" and believe that they are devils that will bring bad luck.
So what is the origin of this fish? Will they really bring disaster?
On July 13, according to the British Daily Mirror, in July, villagers in Arica, Chile caught a monster nearly 5 meters long near the sea. After the news spread, local police and nearby villagers went to find out. Unfortunately, the big fish had died while hanging ashore.
Then, after the identification of local experts, it was learned that this was an adult "demonic hairtail".
It is reported that the serpentine fish belongs to the family Royale, and is currently the longest bone fish in the world. The body length of the adult striking fish is about 3 meters and weighs about 500 kilograms. The largest striking fish recorded in the world has even reached an astonishing 15.2 meters.
From the appearance, the hairpin fish is like an ordinary hairpin fish, but the hairpin fish looks more "glamorous". Their fins are pink and long, the dorsal fins at the top of the head are ribbon-shaped, and the ventral fins are like two long hat straps.
The whole body has no scales, the skin is silver and has a metallic luster, like a mirror, but when they die, the color will quickly dim.
From a habitual perspective, the hairtail lives in the deep sea with a water depth of about 1,000 meters.
They are fierce in character and are carnivorous animals, feeding on various small animals. The reason why yellow hairtails can grow so big is inseparable from their extremely greedy personality. From their birth, the little hairtails began their own rapid growth path. They ate wildly and ate whatever they caught.
and even the same kind will eat each other. Therefore, people often find a large number of undigested fish and similar corpses in the captured sable fish.
So why do people associate hairtail with disaster?
It turns out that according to historical records, people had discovered this behemoth in the ocean a long time ago, but due to the technological level at that time, people have not been able to fully understand the true identity of the yellow croaker. At that time, after witnessing this behemoth, people even became afraid of the ocean for a while.
According to legend, this kind of monster has the ability to call the wind and rain. Whenever people encounter this kind of sea monster, the ship will be destroyed by the wind and waves they bring. After
, there are more and more horrifying legends about hairtail fish, and the most famous legend is Loch Ness Monster . Therefore, it is not surprising that people linked this terrible behemoth with disaster in the social environment at that time.
So when people see the hairtail, will there be an earthquake?
The answer is of course no, but there are quite a lot of records about hairtail and earthquakes. As early as in 1743, a Japanese scholar Kikuoka recorded that he had found a strange fish on the beach, and 30 days later, a major earthquake occurred in Japan.
According to later scholars' comparison, it was found that the strange fish recorded in Kikuroka at that time was the imperial hairpin. From then on, the legend about "the appearance of the hairtail indicates an earthquake" began to be widely circulated in Japan.
Even in modern times, people have recorded the connection between shaved fish and earthquakes many times. For example, in 1932, a shaved fish appeared near Honshu Island in Japan, and soon a earthquake occurred in Japan; 2011 Before the Fukushima earthquake in Japan, someone had seen nearly 20 shaved fish appear in nearby waters many times.
In 2013, Taiwanese compatriots found a hairtail fish in shallow water, and then people sent it back to the sea. In June of the same year, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake occurred in Nantou City, Taiwan Province.
In 2019, Peru fishermen found a hairtail fish on the beach. Three days later, a magnitude 8 earthquake occurred in Peru. There are many similar records for
, but according to relevant research, there is no special recommendation between earthquakes and hairtails.
In addition, Japanese scientists have also recorded the relationship between the number of occurrences of Japanese deep-sea fish and 220 earthquakes between 1928 and 2011. Then the result was that earthquakes had nothing to do with the occurrence of deep-sea fish.
So why do people think that if the hairtail appears, there will be earthquakes?
In fact, this is more like a relationship imposed by artificially.
Because of the terrifying appearance of the hairpin fish in history, people are often regarded as a "sea monster", so people will habitually associate the hairpin fish with disasters. In countries like Japan, where there are already many earthquakes, there are more coincidences in which the hairpin fish and earthquakes are together.
Therefore, over time, people will habitually associate the appearance of hairtail with disasters.
So why do deep-sea fish such as hairtail appear in shallow waters?
According to modern scholars, this may be related to the health problems of the slings of the slings. When their bodies develop lesions, they often lose the ability to regulate water pressure, so they will float in shallow water and then be washed ashore.
In addition, California marine research scholars have also proposed the assumption between the stranded hairpin and the El Nino phenomenon . They believe that El Nino will cause the water temperature to rise. In order to pursue prey, the hairpin will go to the shallow water layer and eventually be accidentally washed ashore. There are many similar assumptions, but there is no conclusion yet.
