The fish got its name because its long pectoral fins resemble oars. It is also called the king of herrings because of their resemblance to the smaller herrings and fishes.

An oarfish was also washed ashore in Agusan del Norte last week days before a 6.7-magnitude quake hit Surigao City. YG/RAM/rga
