The fish is also called the moonfish, and it weighs 65 kg and is usually found at a depth of about 500 meters.

Incredible fishing after an earthquake

According to the Philippine Government News Agency, Director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Juan Albaladejo stated that the deep-sea fish may have been afraid of the earthquake and as a result swam towards the shallow waters.

The scientific name for opah fish is Lampris guttatus. Opah is a type of warm-blooded fish, which results in a high-performance predator that is able to swim faster and see better than regular fish. According to reports, the fisherman who caught opa fish sold it in the nearby market for $ 4.11 (200 Philippine pesos) per kilogram.
