OARFISH : DO THEY REALLY APPEAR BEFORE A NATURAL DISASTER?

THE GUARDIAN : OARFISH - SAN DIEGO   "Group finds elusive deep sea fish that has washed up in California only twenty times since 1901."

Excerpt: Oarfish have long, ribbon-shaped bodies, and can grow longer than 20 feet (6 meters).  They typically live in an area of the deep sea called the mesopelagic zone, where light cannot reach, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA has described the fish as "strange and mysterious" creatures that scientists know little about.

Oarfish are sometimes called doomsday fish due to their mythical reputation as predictors of natural disasters and earth quakes.

Siren here!  We have earthquakes each and every day all around the earth... We know this because of the technology that can sense them.  Most are adjustments to the earth's crust that are of little consequence to humans.  But what usually happens when a deep sea fish dies?  How is it that this fish made it to the surface of the ocean intact?
