Something fishy\u2019s going on in a fishing port in Japan, literally \u2013 and tons and tons of it too!<\/h2>\n

Something terribly fishy is going on<\/strong>\u00a0at the fishing port of Ohara (pronounced Oh-hara) in Isumi City of Chiba Prefecture, and it has nothing to do with espionage or political corruption. There are tons and tons of dead sardines washing up<\/strong> on the shore, and not only is the sight disturbing, but the huge amount of dead fish is literally smelling up the entire surrounding area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the news, the dead fish started washing up around noon of June 3rd<\/strong>, and as of early afternoon on June 4th, the situation still remained pretty much out of control<\/strong>. The amount of dead sardines that has washed up is thought to total several dozen metrics tons<\/strong>, so you can imagine how bad the smell of rotting fish must be.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen the pictures uploaded onto Twitter, and the port looks completely filled with fish<\/strong> \u2013 it almost looks like a carpet of sardines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
