Recently, a large number of dead fish were found on the shore at the Poche fishing port in Shima City, Mie Prefecture, Japan, and the local fishery workers are dealing with it.
Thousands of tonnes have been processed so far, but the efficiency of the treatment needs to be improved compared to the huge number of dead fish. This is after a large number of dead fish appeared in Hokkaido on the 7thThis is the second time this has happened on the coast of Japan
According to the footage released by the Japanese media, dense sardine carcasses surged onto the beach with the waves, like "fish waves". The dead fish were mainly sardines, and the cause of the deaths was not yet known, the local ** said in a statement.
The statement also urged local residents not to take the dead fish home for consumption. A detailed investigation is currently underway and a plan to deal with it will be discussed.
Local residents said that it was the first time they had seen so many sardines washed up on the shore, and some residents rushed to the scene directly with vacuum packs and buckets to pick up the fish and eat them.
Sardines are a cold-water fish that are mainly found along the coast of the Asia-Pacific region, from Japan to the South China Sea and Vietnam. They usually live in groups and are especially active in spring or at the turn of spring and summer. This is a water-intensive fish that can die in large numbers if the marine environment is unsuitable, such as pollution, high or low water temperatures, or lack of oxygen.
Local fishermen are concerned that the frequent occurrence of large numbers of dead fish in the short term could mean that the marine ecosystem is changing. Japan** explained that the fish may have died of lack of oxygen, and it has nothing to do with the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea. It has also been suggested that dolphins have been spotted on the shore, and it is suspected that sardines have been chased by them and stranded en masse.
Of course, many netizens do not buy the arguments of Japan** and the so-called "pursuit theory", you must know that since Japan decided to discharge nuclear sewage into the ocean, with the gradual increase in volume, radioactive materials will definitely harm the ocean. The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident in the Soviet Union killed fish in the nearby Pripyat River.
Japan has disposed of the Fukushima nuclear wastewater in the most irresponsible, unsafe, and cheapest way。The impact of this waste on the environment is becoming more and more apparent, and people are gradually forgetting and ignoring it over time. Some people always say that it is Japan** and Japanese politicians, but they are the only ones who have never thought that it is the seemingly innocent ordinary Japanese people who lift them to a high place.
Of course, there are also conscientious ** who have reported on the incident, linking the abnormal death of marine fish to nuclear contamination, such as the British Daily Mail. However, this move was met with a strong response and counterattack from many people in Japan, and even a press conference was held for this purpose, Foreign Ministry spokesman Maki Kobayashi pointed out
The report's insinuation that sardines washed up on shore was related to the discharge of treated water lacked scientific basis and was extremely inappropriate. **Appropriate measures will be taken in this regard ......"
For us, what we can do is to continue not to eat Japanese goods, try not to use Japanese goods, only let them feel pain, in order to really let them feel the negative effect of "indiscriminate discharge of nuclear sewage", otherwise it can only be said that the boots are itchy, and it will not have any effect.
At the same time, this mass fish death is a wake-up call to the health and protection of the ocean, which is one of the most important ecosystems on Earth and one of the most important resources for human survivalOnly by respecting and protecting nature can we be treated kindly by nature.
