Oarfish, scientifically called Regalecus glesne, is considered to be associated with doomsday or, more specifically, earthquakes.

A dead oarfish spotted along the Southern California coast marks the state's third sighting of the so-called "doomsday fish" this year.

Oarfish, with their long, ribbon-like bodies, are among the most elusive and mysterious creatures of the deep sea.
