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.
According to Japanese legend, the fish will purposely rise to the surface and beach themselves whenever they believe troubles on the way. 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 dont 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 werent sitting so well with social media users this week.

Definition of an expert:
anybody, on any topic, more than 200 miles from home.
