Oarfish have been observed swimming in a vertical position, with their head pointing upwards, potentially to better spot prey. They also swim by undulating their long dorsal fin, keeping their body straight, known as an "amiiform" swimming style.Oarfish inhabit the mesopelagic zone, a depth of 650 to 3,300 feet (200 to 1,000 meters), where there's little to no light. | Fishing World Tv
