A massive number of dead fish have been discovered washing up on the shores of northern Japan. Captured in a viral video circulating on social media platforms, including X (Twitter), the footage showcases thousands of fish lining the coastal areas, raising concerns among locals and environmentalists alike.

In a similar incident in Japan, frozen sardines were observed washing ashore on the beaches of three towns in Hokkaido in January, their bodies spanning several kilometers along the Sea of Okhotsk coast, Japan Times reported.

This phenomenon occurred last year and also five years ago near the city of Wakkanai, Hokkaido, following a substantial snowstorm.

Their specific cause of death remains a mystery.

While studying economics, Brendan found himself comfortably falling down the rabbit hole of restaurant work, ultimately opening a consulting business and working as a private wine buyer. On a whim, he moved to China, and in his first week following a triumphant pub quiz victory, he found himself bleeding on the floor based on his arrogance. The same man who put him there offered him a job lecturing for the University of Wales in various sister universities throughout the Middle Kingdom. While primarily lecturing in descriptive and comparative statistics, Brendan simultaneously earned an Msc in Banking and International Finance from the University of Wales-Bangor. He's presently doing something he hates, respecting French people. Well, two, his wife and her mother in the lovely town of Antigua, Guatemala.
