According to Japan's "Sankei Shimbun" report on November 5, 2019, between the morning of the 3rd and the 4th of this month, the sea surface drifted in Mukawa Town, Hokkaido, Japan. A large number of dead sardines arrived, and these fish covered about 4 kilometers of coast. At this time, it is not clear why this happened. Image source: International Online

According to the local fishery association, the larger body length of these sardines is about 25 centimeters. As of the afternoon of the 4th, the local fishery department had recovered about 20 tons of dead sardines.

But since the coast is almost completely covered with dead sardines, the local area faces a arduous task of processing them. A staff member of the Fisheries Association said: "I have never seen so many (fish) washed up on the shore. I have no idea why. It's incredible."
