Thousands of dead sardines scattered across the sand of a village in northern Japan have become a headache for local residents who, due to the New Year holidays, have not yet been able to find a company to dispose of the fish.
The images recorded in the city of Matsumae, on the island of Hokkaido, are impressive. In them you can see about 900 meters of beach 'invaded' by dead sardines.
"They're starting to rot," residents say, wondering what danger the situation poses to public health.
北海道・松前で年末にイワシが900メートルにわたり大量漂着 処分難航、衛生面で懸念もhttps://t.co/6VRBhrhTQr
北海道松前町で昨年末、大量のイワシが海岸に漂着した。町は回収に当たる業者を探したが、年末年始と重なったため手配が難航し、1週間以上たった6日時点で処分の見通しは立っていない。

The reasons for the appearance of large numbers of stranded sardines remain unknown. However, the Hakodate Fisheries Research Institute of the Hokkaido Research Organization believes it is likely that the fish were forced ashore due to a sudden drop in water temperature.
