Local fishermen said that it was the first time for them to see so many dead fish floating on the sea, and they were worried that more fish would die. Local fishermen are worried that the frequent occurrence of large numbers of dead fish in a short period of time may mean that the marine ecosystem is changing.

Previously, according to Japanese TV reports, on the morning of the 7th local time, a large number of sardine carcasses washed up on the beach in Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan. The reason is currently unknown.
Some local residents told Japanese TV that it was the first time they had seen so many dead fish washed ashore, and some residents said they wanted to pick up the fish and eat them.
Footage taken by a witness using a drone showed that a beach was covered with dead fish, about 1 kilometer in length, and there were many dead fish floating on the sea. Due to the huge number of dead fish, the beach and water surface turned silvery white.
Local officials said in a statement that the dead fish were mainly sardines and that the cause of the death of these fish was not yet clear. The statement also urged local residents not to take dead fish home for consumption. Relevant personnel are currently conducting detailed investigations and will discuss treatment options. Researchers at the Hakodate City Fisheries Research Institute said the incident coincided with the season when sardines migrate south from Hokkaido.
Fujioka Takashi, a researcher at the Fisheries Research Institute of Hakodate City, Japan: One possible reason is that this group of fish was chased and preyed on by a big fish, and after being exhausted, it was washed up by the waves; another possible reason is that the fish were washed up by the waves. During the migration, they followed the icy ocean currents and were washed ashore, but the details are uncertain.
According to previous reports by Japanese media, on October 18, a large number of dead sardines also appeared in a fishing port in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. They were densely packed on the water and the scene was horrifying. The total weight of the cleaned sardines is estimated to be about 90 tons.
