Is the ‘doomsday fish’ a real omen of disaster? Here's what scientists say

The giant oarfish, or Regalecus glesne, is known as the 'doomsday fish'. Coastal cultures believe it signals impending disasters. Sightings are linked to earthquakes and tsunamis. The 2011 Tohoku tsunami fueled this belief. Recent oarfish videos went viral, predicting earthquakes. However, scientific research finds no connection between oarfish and seismic activity. Biological factors and climate change may explain their appearances.
