Mass Fish Deaths: September 2012
Mass Animal Deaths: September 2012

(Oct 12) In Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, an oarfish washed ashore on the bustling Medano Beach, which features a view of the end of the Baja California peninsula. Oarfish are deep-water denizens that are rarely seen. But because of their long, slender appearance, and their bright-orange dorsal fins and manes, they helped spawn myths of sea serpents and sea monsters among ancient mariners. They’ve been known to reach lengths of 30-plus feet. (Source)

A series of earthquakes may be responsible for sending a rare deep ocean fish to its death on a beach in Baja – oarfish are traditionally known as the harbinger of a powerful earthquake. There are scientific theories that deep sea fish are sensitive to the movements of tectonic plates and may act uncharacteristically before an earthquake.

Dozens of great oarfish were found washed up on the shores of Japan roughly a year before the massive March 11 earthquake. The most recent sighting was on December 21, 2011, causing a commotion among the locals that another big earthquake may soon strike Japan. (Source)

(Oct 12) THOUSANDS of fish have died in a Top End creek in the Northern Territory in Australia. (Source) A WEEKEND downpour in the Northern Territory has resulted in thousands of fish dying in the Katherine River. The mass fish kill at the popular river is thought to have been due to a combination of warmer temperatures and heavy rains on the weekend washing organic matter into the waterways. (Source)

(Oct 10) A post mortem examination on the 11ft female juvenile whale which died after it beached at Fraisthorpe in the UK showed it was many miles from its usual feeding grounds and hadn’t fed for some time. The Sowerby’s beaked whale died from a bacterial infection of the brain, called vibrio vulnificus. (Source)

(Oct 9) A large section of coastline in South Africa has been closed after a 30-metre whale washed ashore following an attack by Great White sharks. Authorities say it’s possible the whale was already dead when sharks ripped into it. (Source)
