[Global Network Reporter Lin Zeyu] According to a report by TV Asahi on the 23rd, a large number of sardine carcasses have washed ashore along the coast of Wakkanai City, Hokkaido, recently. The report said that it may be caused by the rapid drop in water temperature.
According to reports, because of the cold temperature, some sardine carcasses have been frozen, and in the snow, people came to the coast to "fetch fish".
Regarding the reason for "fetching fish", the visitor said, "Eat. No problem, it's a natural refrigerator"; "I came here 4 years ago or 3 years ago, and this happened too, maybe the cold sea water suddenly came over. leading to the death of sardines".
The report quoted experts as saying that the minimum temperature for sardines is about 6 degrees Celsius, and the water temperature dropped sharply below 3 degrees Celsius on the 20th due to the low pressure.
According to a report by Sapporo TV Broadcasting on the 24th, the dead sardines can be found within a range of up to 10 kilometers along the coast of Wakkanai City.
However, the report quoted the staff of the Wakkanai Fisheries Test Site as saying that although it is believed that the low water temperature may be the cause of the washing up, "but it has not been confirmed, and I hope not to eat."
On the Japanese Internet, more people seem to be paying more attention to the scenes in the video reports of TV Asahi and other media, and many netizens think that the scene in the video content looks like a traditional British cuisine known for its peculiar appearance "Looking up at the Stars Pie" (Stargazy Pie).
In the tweets and reposts of TV Asahi's reported tweets, many people posted various "star-gazing factions".
On the other hand, in recent months, the seas of Hokkaido, Japan, have been strange.
According to previous reports by Japanese media, in the second half of last year, due to factors such as warming temperatures, the red tide phenomenon that was the most severely affected by the harvest of aquatic products "in history" occurred along the southeastern coast of Hokkaido.
In addition, according to the Fuji News Network (FNN) report on December 27 last year, citing experts, the water temperature in Hokkaido in 2021 will be higher than the previous year, which will affect the fishing industry.
On the other hand, according to Japanese media reports, a large number of sardines have died recently in Wakkanai City, Hokkaido and other places, which may be affected by the rapid drop in water temperature. The Japan Broadcasting Association quoted experts as saying in the report, "It stands to reason that sardines will go south in winter. The migration, in this case, may have been the death of fish that remained near Wakkanai City due to the cold water temperature."
