Photos posted on Instagram showed one of the two deep-sea dwellers — which reportedly measured 10.5 and 13 feet, respectively. One was found on the shore of Toyama Bay and the other got caught in a fishing net near the port of Imizu.

Residents have reported their presence before the arrivals of tsunamis and earthquakes in the past — including the 2011 Fukushima quake. However, experts have said not to worry.
“The link to reports of seismic activity goes back many, many years, but there is no scientific evidence of a connection so I don’t think people need to worry,” explained Hiroyuki Motomura, a professor of ichthyology at Kagoshima University who spoke to the Morning Post. “I believe these fish tend to rise to the surface when their physical condition is poor, rising on water currents, which is why they are so often dead when they are found,” he said.
Still, the sightings weren’t sitting so well with social media users this week.

anybody, on any topic, more than 200 miles from home.

Thanks Beowulf, looks like they have a better record than the humans.

Do you know when a farmer is an expert?
Expert: Someone who knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing.
I was reading about that a couple of days ago. Interesting.
Thanks, SC!
