could be their tritium factory runoff (edit, probably not)
could be sea temperatures rising
anyway
I guess we're fucked
I've heard several similar news already. I think crabs are like 90% down their population or something. Anyways, we're completely fucked indeed.
Yup, crabs in the Bering Sea are fucked. Similar thing happened with cod in Canada in the 90's, and those populations are yet to recover.
Very bad omen.
First of all, this article is two days old.
Second of all, the article literally states this happened earlier in the month.
Fourth of all, it is very far away from Fukushima.
Finally, a similar incident happened about a year ago before any of the Fukushima hype.
Edit: I can't count 💀
oh good so fish are washing up dead due to rising sea temperatures then...
POLITICO rating: false!
Experts have speculated that the migratory fish in both areas had become stranded after being chased to the point of exhaustion by amberjack and other predatory fish. Mass mortality events can also occur when there are sudden drops in the water temperature, causing the fish to go into shock, they added.
But no one has been able to confirm the cause. “The cause is unknown at the moment,” Mikine Fujiwara, a local fisheries official, told the newspaper. “We plan to sample the seawater at the site and examine it to uncover the cause.”
Are we going to read the article and genuinely search for answers or are we just going to circlejerk?
Ok, no one can confirm yet, but if you look at other sudden mass die offs of fish, the cause has been temperature or salinity changes. The idea that they got chased into exhaustion seems a little absurd.
I would posit that they're keeping it quiet because the implications of structural cataclysmic dieoffs could mean disrupting fishing season with catch quotas or even outright cancellation.
However, the fact that they've all washed up on a beach is a bit different to other mass dieoffs, which are recorded by catch numbers at sea. Time will tell what the reason for this one actually was. A similar thing happened in Orkney, Scotland recently, which they put down to natural causes
The circle jerk is why I come
we're still probably fucked it's just a bad look to label Wednesday's stuff as "today". agree with you two that it seems like climate change and not scary nuclear
ye true I spose
brain fart
normal!
Death to America
