The

Norwegian
public radio (Google-translated)
reports on the instant dead of thousands of fish in a bay in the
island of Lovund, Norway. An air temperature of -7.8 C (17.96 F)
combined with a strong east wind froze the sea water instantly,
trapping and killing the fish you can see in this fishapocalyptic

The
dog owner says that he has never seen such a phenomenon. NRK claims
that the herrings were chased by cormorants into the bay when the
deadly freezing happened. Aril Slotte—the head of pelagic fish
department at Norway's Institute of Marine Research—says it is not
uncommon for herring to get very near the shore when chased by
predators, sometimes getting trapped by the low tide in areas like
this bay.
I
wish I were there. I love herring.
