Unusual number of “deep-sea fish” caught dead 2km offshore of Kochi

 

 

105 bodies of deep-sea fish “Photonectes” (10~25cm long) were caught in the Pacific on 4/22/2014.

 

The ecology of this fish is not even well-known. Among 105 bodies, 104 were already dead and 1 is quite in bad shape.

They also caught 9 bodies one day before.

 

The caught fish was in the fixed net set 2km offshore of Muroto-zaki, in 70m depth.

 

A professor emeritus from Hokkaido University, Amaoka, who is an expert of deep-sea fish, comments there might have been some abnormality in their habitat.

Un nombre inhabituel de “poissons des profondeurs” retrouvés morts à 2 km au large de Kochi

 

Le 22 avril 2014, 105 poissons des grands fonds “Photonectes sp.” (10~25 cm de long) ont été pêchés dans le Pacifique.

L’écologie de ces poissons n’est même pas parfaitement connue. Sur ces 105 cadavres, 104 étaient déjà morts et le dernier était en mauvais état.
Ils en avaient trouvé 9 autres la veille.

Ces poissons étaient pris dans un filet fixe posé à 2 km au large de Muroto-zaki à 70 m de profondeur.

Le Pr Amaoka, professeur émérite de l’université d’Hokkaido expert sur les poissons des profondeurs, déclare qu’il y a probablement une anomalie dans leur habitat.

  1. “there might have been some abnormality in their habitat”

    …yeah, like the big fishing net that killed them.

    1. The article states that the fish were caught in a fixed net set in 70m depth. It also states that their habitat is‘deep sea’, implying depths of over 200m. So if the information is correct, the fish were out of their habitat when caught.

  2. Or the radiation in the sediment. My bet, radiation in sediment. Like Oar fish, deep sea fish are usually boney and not on the prime catch list.

    1. Well …. that might be a plausible hypothesis … if there was any fukushima fallout in that sediment.

      But the kuroshio current flows west to east, so the fallout that went into the ocean at fukushima is headed for hawaii and california, not osaka.

      There is no fukushima fallout in the sediment in that area.

      1. Incorrect,

        Many Fukushima radionuclides are relatively insoluble, particularly the heavier transuranic and rare-earth radioisotopes, such as uranium, plutonium, polonium, Americium, Europium.

        And quite dangerous

        Also, Cesium ‘Snow’ was reported off the coast of Japan in various water depths.

        Likely quite a witches cauldron of radioactive waste on the sea bottom, for 100 miles and in natural sediment traps for much further.

        1. Reality does not matter to Mr Bill Duff. He likes to see radiation everywhere. That’s why he doesn’t own a detector; it’d spoil all his fun to actually look at reality for a minute.

          1. Why attempt to ruin their reasonable and respectful conversation with utter crap as usual?
            Oh yeah. That appears to be one of your goals.

    Cesium hotspots found in seabed east of Fukushima

    August 08, 2013, By SHUNSUKE KIMURA/ Staff Writer

    Radioactive cesium has formed hotspots on the seabed east of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, the site of reactor meltdowns following the earthquake and tsunami disaster of March 2011, scientists said.

    Researchers from the University of Tokyo, the National Maritime Research Institute and other entities said Aug. 7 the hotspots are likely a result of highly radioactive water that leaked from the crippled nuclear plant in April and May 2011 and subsequently sank into seabed depressions. They say they are the first to have measured the distribution of radioactive substances on the seabed off the hobbled plant.

    “Like Green Starlight”: Highly contaminated ‘marine snow’ covered seafloor at least 2,000 kilometers from Fukushima by July 2011 (PHOTOS & VIDEO)

    Title: 1,200 Bq/Kg of Cs134 was detected in marine snow that was gathered from the depth of 5,000 meters of the Pacific Source: Tohoku Broadcasting, Author: guardianofmiyagi Date Aired: Sept 16, 2012, Date Published: Sept 29, 2012

    Marine snow like green starlight.

    A surprising result was reported by the Ocean Investigation Team. July 2011, investigation at the Kamchatka Peninsula offing depth of 5,000 meters. 1,200 Bq/Kg of Cs134 was detected in marine snow fathered from the deep sea.

    The radioactive contamination has reached the deep sea which is 2000 km distance from Fukushima Daiichi. It is considered that the origin of this Cs134 is not ocean currents but radioactive fallout and then reached the depth of 5,000 meters.

    1. Mr Bill Duff posts links and goes on about something. It’s getting increasingly hard for me to summarize his posts when they are all the same rants with links to other loonies who rant.

  5. Fukushima Radioactive Fallout is killing the Japanese Nation and the Pacific Ocean

    Occam’s Razor – http math ucr edu/ (home/baez/physics/General/occam) html — http www Princeton edu/ (~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Occam_s_razor) html

    Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor is a principle attributed to the 14th century logician and Franciscan friar Father William of Ockham. Ockham was the village in the English county of Surrey where he was born. The principle states that “Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily.” Sometimes it is quoted in one of its original Latin forms to give it an air of authenticity: “Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate”, “Frustra fit per plura quod potest fieri per pauciora” & “Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem”

    Many scientists have adopted or reinvented Occam’s Razor, as in Leibniz’s “identity of observables” and Isaac Newton stated the rule: “We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.” It is also named: lex parsimoniae (translating to the law of parsimony, law of economy or law of succinctness).The most useful statement of the principle for scientists is: “when you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better.” In physics we use the razor to shave away metaphysical concepts.

    “When you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is (usually) the better.”

    1. Well here’s a competing theory. We’re dumping chemical pollution into the pacific, clogging it with microscopic particles of plastic, increasing it’s acidity through CO2 and over fishing it to death.

      Since the pacific was dying before fukushima happened. We can conclude that this is a better hypothesis than fukushima radiation.

      Oh, and in honor of Niall I’ll say,” Mr Bill Duff posts the same thing in multiple threads”

  6. The sky became reddish over Hiroshima

    Eyewitnesses to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Article #176 • written by Alan Bellows

    The sound of the American planes drew the attention of the city’s residents, many of whom were outdoors participating in work programs. A few saw a large parachute unfurl beneath the B-29 before it flew away, but most saw only the flash that soon followed. For those who didn’t see the planes, the sudden flare of harsh light was the first indication that something unusual had happened. After I noticed the flash, white clouds spread over the blue sky. It was amazing. It was as if blue morning-glories had suddenly bloomed up in the sky. Then came the heat wave. It was very very hot. Even though there was a window glass in front of me, I felt really hot. It was as if I was looking directly into a kitchen oven. I couldn’t bear the heat for a long time. Then I heard the cracking sound. I don’t know what made that sound, but probably it came from the air which suddenly expanded in the room.

    The sky became reddish over Hiroshima, and saturated with smoke and dust. All who were alive and mobile quickly began to try to help the injured or flee the area, few realizing the magnitude of the destruction. The scent of char was on the air as fires began to break out around the city.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
