According to NBC News, two oarfish fish longer than 4.5m were discovered by tourists last month, when they were swimming around shallow waters near the coast of Cortes, Mexico. Paddle fish swim near the shore and can be seen clearly from above to the water.

Giant paddle fish often live at a depth of nearly 1,000 meters above sea level. Therefore, it is very rare for people to see paddle fish, especially near the water.

Milton Love, a researcher at the University of California Marine Science Institute, said the two paddlefish are about to die."Their usual destination is deeper, quieter waters, at least somewhere far from the shore. The reason they appear near the shore is still unclear, but they may have been given lines. water is brought into this area, " he said.

According to scientists, paddle fish is the longest bone-living creature in the world with a length of 17m and can weigh up to 270kg. They are often found in tropical and temperate seas.

Paddle fish is sometimes called the "king of herring" because of the similar features of this small fish. However, they were named paddle fish because their pectoral fins were as long as paddles.
