The sale of fishing permits has been suspended for two sites where water temperatures have risen to critically high levels, especially for salmon.
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 (0.6 mile) long. Takashi Fujioka, a Hakodate Fisheries Research Institute said the fish may have been chased by larger fish, become exhausted due to a lack of oxygen while moving in a densely packed school, and were washed up by the waves.
The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife said the fish are yellow perch, which are common in the lake.
