Marine biologists are puzzled by the hundreds of leopard sharks washing up dead on the shores of San Francisco for the past seven weeks.
They wonder if it could be the sign of a major problem throughout the Pacific Ocean. As both scavengers and super-predators, sharks in general play a critical role in keeping the ocean’s ecosystem in balance.
Sharks eat fish that are the weakest and help maintain “prey species diversity” by keeping other predators in check. Scientists worry that any decline in shark populations may threaten fishery operations and also indicate deeper problems in the ecosystem.

eating radioactive fish
Could possible indicate a coming EARTHQUAKE.
Yup, it’s Fukushima nuclear plant spewing radiation in the Pacific Ocean, and it’s reaching our west coast! It’s been doing it since 2011.
Yeah , don’t drink the water !
Vegan hippie surfers have no nutritional value. They survive on the same stuff by which mushrooms are grown.
?? how can that be well IT’S TWO YEARS OF PORING RADIATION FROM FUKUSHIMA REACTOR,,,,,,,,,,,, ……………….. i guess the meadesas has no recall of it they are fucking up the hole dam ocean can’t we do something about that ??
Sometimes things just happen do all the lemmings jumping off cliffs say anything. Sometimes we save an animal but some things are meant to vanish i go in n.c. and see all the meddling turn into a disaster the chinese chestnut trees were planted to combat the american chestnut blight but they carried a disease that started killing all the hemlock and then in some places they planted japanese ivy in some parts of the blueridge mountains thats all you can see as it overgrew everything. Now we will introduce something to combat that and it may or may not cause more problems.
How come only the same species of shark?
maybe more susceptible? or were in more area’s of contamination? Or happened to be a species that made it to the U.S. Coast
Mystery solved; To much left wing Bull$#%&!@*and garbage flowing off shore from entire West coast.
