Officials of Oregon State Parks (OSP), USA, communicated on their social networks that specimens of lancet fish (Alepisaurus ferox) have been popping up on state beaches in recent weeks.
The strange appearance and stranding of these famous cannibal fish, with giant eyes and fangs like daggersalong a stretch of coast of about 290 kilometers leave experts perplexed.
How is the lancet or cannibal fish

Confusion of biologists in the United States
“Nobody’s Sure Why They’re Coming Ashore”OSP officials pointed out from their Facebook profile.
Daniel J. Kamikawaa NOAA biologist, he said Live science that “groundings in Oregon and elsewhere they are not exactly common or occur regularly“.
The specialist suggests that one of the possible explanations for these strandings could be the disabling diseasesThe effect of dragging storms or a phenomenon known as thermal shock.
The reference in that last point is when a fish is suddenly exposed to a body of water that is much colder than its normal temperature range, they point out.
“That makes the fish go into shock and can greatly incapacitate and be fatal,” Kamikawa said.
But, all the same, these are unproven theories, and the appearance of the cannibal fish, for sure, remains a mystery. “
