A tourist resort in Peru is on earthquake alert after an oarfish - which according to legend is a warning of natural disaster - was caught by a fisherman on the coast.

But as a major rescue operation was launched, it emerged that just three days ago the so-called trembling fish was spotted on a beach in the country.

The fish, known as the king of herring and the largest bone fish in the world, was pictured on Vichayito beach in Máncora to the north of the south American country.
