Officials in Japan have admitted they are struggling to determine why hundreds of tonnes of fish have washed ashore in recent days.
日本官員表示，他們正在努力確定最近幾天數百噸魚被沖上岸的原因。
Earlier this month, an estimated 1,200 tonnes of sardines and mackerel were found floating on the surface of the sea off the fishing port of Hakodate in Hokkaido, forming a silver blanket stretching for more than a kilometer.
本月早些時候，在北海道函館漁港附近的海面上發現了約1200噸沙丁魚和鯖魚，這些魚形成了一條長達一公里多的"銀色長毯"。
On Wednesday, officials in Nakiri, a town on the Pacific coast hundreds of miles south of Hokkaido, were confronted with 30 to 40 tonnes of Japanese scaled sardines, or sappa, which had been observed in the area a couple of days earlier.
12月13日，在北海道以南數百英里的太平洋沿岸，波切漁港的官員又發現了30至40噸壽南小沙丁魚，幾天前就曾在該地區發現這種魚。
Local fishers scrambled to collect the fish, fearing their carcasses would lower the oxygen content of the water as they decompose and damage the marine environment.
由于擔心死魚會腐爛破壞海洋環境，降低水中氧氣含量，當地漁民們爭相打撈這些魚。
“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” a fisher who has worked in the area for 25 years told the Mainichi Shimbun. “It was only around last year that we began to catch sappa in Nakiri. It makes me wonder if the marine ecosystem is changing.”
一位在該地區工作了25年的漁民告訴日本每日新聞社，“我以前從未見過這樣的事情。直到去年左右，我們才開始在波切捕到壽南小沙丁魚。這讓我懷疑海洋生態系統是否正在發生變化。”
“The cause is unknown at the moment,” Mikine Fujiwara, a local fisheries official, told the newspaper. “We plan to sample the seawater at the site and examine it to uncover the cause.”
當地漁業機構官員Mikine Fujiwara告訴日本每日新聞社：“目前尚不清楚原因，計劃在現場對海水進行采樣并進行檢查，以找出原因。”
“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.”
當地漁業機構表示，對目前福島核電站排放的核污染水的"水監測調查結果沒有發現異常。我們對沒有科學依據的傳言感到擔憂。”
Fishing cooperatives in Fukushima had warned that the discharge would inflict further damage on the reputation of their seafood.
福島縣漁業合作社曾警告稱，核污染水排海將對其海產品的聲譽造成進一步損害。
Town officials in Hakodate urged local people not to consume the stranded fish amid reports that some were gathering quantities to sell or eat. “We don’t know for sure under what circumstances these fish were washed up, so I don’t recommend eating them,” Takashi Fujioka, a fisheries researcher said.
函館市政府官員敦促當地民眾不要食用擱淺的魚，因為有報道稱，一些民眾正在打撈擱淺的魚用來出售或食用。漁業研究員Takashi Fujioka說：“我們不確定這些魚是在什么情況下被沖上來的，所以我不建議食用。”
