Preface

The year 2020 has been a time of many disasters, starting with the outbreak of New Crown Pneumonia in our country, followed by a locust plague that has been rare in India and Pakistan for many years, and then followed by torrential rainfalls in several European countries, including the United Kingdom. In short, it seems that most countries are experiencing frequent catastrophic events. One of the most notable is the discovery of a fish off Japan's coast that signaled the coming of an earthquake.

Royal Belt Fish Spotted

As we all know, Japan is a country in the active zone of the earth's crust, and according to statistics, in 2019 alone, 1,539 earthquakes of various sizes have occurred in the territory of Japan, and the huge data is all but a harbinger of a difficult situation for Japan in the future. In the face of nature, human beings are too weak to cope, we may be able to avoid man-made disasters and solve man-made disasters, but we can't go to dissolve the harm caused by natural disasters. Regarding natural disasters, there is a description in the book "Book - Yi Xun", "Ancient Xia successive, Fang Maocheng Turkic virtue, there is no natural disaster."

But although you can't fight against natural disasters, human beings will always try to find ways to avoid them. The way to avoid natural disasters and minimize the damage is to anticipate them in advance. Perceiving nature the way it was meant to be perceived is the wisest end to dealing with natural disasters. For example, the royal ribbon fish happens to be the best way to foretell an impending earthquake and is known as the earthquake fish.

Habits of the royal ribbonfish

The world's longest bony fish is it, with a slender body that resembles an elongated and enlarged version of the ribbonfish, a mouth that protrudes out more than that of the ordinary edible ribbonfish, and no teeth, not to mention no fish scales. According to relevant information, in 1808, the Scottish beaches had found a 17-meter-long royal belt fish, not only long, the weight is not light, the heaviest can be 272 kilograms.

The reason why it is called the earthquake fish is still in its habits, usually its range of activities in the deep sea 200 meters to 1,000 meters in the dark place, which is precisely why it will usually in the evening, or when there is no sunshine, vertical swim back to the surface of the offshore to catch small fish for food.

Whenever it appears offshore, it is a warning that an earthquake is coming. Scientists have many questions and opinions about this theory. Some experts believe that the eve of the earthquake crustal rocks will release a large number of charged substances, it is these substances to change the ecological environment of the deep sea, forcing marine organisms have to be forced to migrate, and this is the royal belt fish. In addition to this point of view, there is another point of view is that when marine organisms perceive the movement of the fault structure, they can feel the change of the magnetic field around them, and thus they will swim from the deep sea area to the shallow water area.

Heralding earthquakes

From both points of view, the royal ribbon fish seems to fit the persona involved. And factually, it does; the fish appeared off the Japanese island of Honshu in 1932, and earthquakes struck northeastern Japan soon afterward. In the winter of 2011, when the world was shocked by a massive earthquake in Japan, there are data indicating that more than 20 royal stripers were found one after another on the nearby coast in the winter of 2010. In the face of such an abnormal situation, China's ancient book, "Notes on the Study of Microcosmic Cao Tang", there are such words, "all things for a long time will be a demon".

This kind of fish not only appeared in Japan, but also appeared in our country, in February 2004, our country Taiwan earthquake, before that there are many fishermen in the nearby beaches found the royal belt fish. By looking up the history of earthquakes in various countries, it can be found that almost every time before the earthquake, the sky can be traced back to the phenomenon is the appearance of the royal ribbon fish. As if it were a demon, it appears to the public as a wake-up call.

In this talk of earthquakes, Japan's feelings are more profound. In response to the earthquake situation in Japan, there is a very authoritative organization has predicted that in the next few decades, Japan is likely to usher in an unprecedented earthquake, the magnitude will reach 9.1, the death toll will be more than 320,000 people. And the tsunami caused by the earthquake is also about to kill countless people. In fact, the Japanese government has made a lot of efforts to respond to the hazards posed by the earthquake and has already made strategic plans.

Conclusion

The recent appearance of the imperial ribbon fish has made the Japanese government and the public very nervous, and people are on tenterhooks, for fear that the earthquake will really come. In the face of natural disasters, human beings seem too small to be on guard.
