HAKODATE - Thousands of tons of dead sardines have washed up on a beach in northern Japan for unknown reasons, officials said Friday.
The sardines and some mackerel washed ashore in Hakodate on Japan's northernmost main island of Hokkaido on Thursday morning, creating a sliver blanket along a stretch of beach about a kilometer long.
Local residents said they have never seen anything like it. Some gathered the fish to sell or eat.
The town, in a notice posted on its website, urged residents not to consume the fish. ...
“We don't know for sure under what circumstances these fish were washed up, so I do not recommend” eating them, Fujioka said.
