Oarfish found at Aramoana beach on ANZAC day 2022. Total length 3.5 m. The fish was alive when first found attempts to move into deeper water were unsuccessful. It was evident the oarfish was near death.

We saw dozens of these fish dead on the beach. We also saw several beaching themselves, as if suicidal. Most odd. I don't know what kind of fish it is, I just chose the top suggestion.
