For the second time this year, an oarfish has washed up on a California beach. The 'doomsday fish' is considered a harbinger of doom in Japanese folklore. The post Second ‘Doomsday Fish’ Washes up on California Beach first appeared on The Inertia.

A member of the Scripps Oceanography team spotted the dead fish outside of San Diego, California. The fish was estimated to be 9 to 10 feet in length, which was much smaller than the one recovered in La Jolla in August.

Researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have released pictures of a dead oarfish lying onshore of the Grandview Surf Beach in Encinitas.
