Over 100,000’ dead fish spilled off France’s coast

A large mass of dead fish was first spotted floating in the Bay of Biscay off La Rochelle on Thursday. The public was alerted of the occurrence by the French branch of the environmentalist group Sea Shepherd.

The spill consisted of “more than 100,000” dead fish, measuring about 3,000 square meters (32,300 sq ft), according to the group’s estimates. The group said the Bay of Biscay has been a hot spot for industrial fishing involving multiple vessels with onboard processing plants. Among others, they include the world’s second-largest Lithuania-flagged trawler FV Margiris active in the area.
