Seven oarfish have been caught by fishermen off the coast of Japan this season and this has brought talk of possible earthquakes and tsunami. Oarfish are known in Japanese as "Ryugu no tsukai", the "Messenger from the Sea God's Palace," and according to legend they beach themselves on shore when underwater earthquakes are imminent.
