An entire port town in Japan has been left reeking of dead fish
after nearly 200 tons of stinky sardines washed up on its shore.
The massive shoal started washing up at the fishing port of
Ohara, on Japan's west-facing North Pacific Ocean coast, on June
3 and quickly turned the sea red.
Since then the bizarre phenomenon gone has rapidly got out of
control.
Mystery: The sardine beach in Japan was turned blood red after
nearly 200 tons of fish turned up
There are now so many dead fish that locals in the town in Isumi
City, Chiba Prefecture, are having to truck the rotting remains
to landfills. And yet still more dead sardines keep washing up
on shore.
Reports suggested that locals are not only finding the sight
disturbing, but the huge amount of dead fish has created a smell
that's becoming unbearable.
