A long, ribbon-like belt fish, which is rarely seen and is considered a harbinger of disaster, washed ashore in California for the second time this year.
According to the page of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps Institution of Oceanography), the belt fish was found dead on the rocky shore of Grandview Beach in Encinitas last week.

The crested king herring (Regalecus glesne) or belt fish is a semi-deep-water fish found in warm and moderately warm waters of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. Its physical characteristics and undulating swimming pattern have led to speculation that this species of fish may be the source of many sightings of the so-called “sea snake”.
According to the Scripps Institution, the belt fish is an incredibly rare creature.
Since 1901, only 21 belt fish have been recorded off the coast of California.
There is a popular belief that has become known over the years, particularly prevalent in Japan and other coastal cultures, that links the appearance of a particular fish to natural disasters such as tsunamis and earthquakes.
