Did no-one actually read the article? This happening in Hakodate in Hokkaido, not anywhere near Fukushima.
"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."
"Images of the fish have been widely shared on social media – many accompanied by Fukushima conspiracy theories."
"“There have been no abnormalities found in the results of water-monitoring surveys,” the fisheries agency said, referring to the water that has been pumped out of the Fukushima plant so far. “We’re concerned about the proliferation of information that’s not based on scientific evidence.”"
I'm shocked that Hacker News of all places would immediately leap to conspiracy theories.
