Images have surfaced of ‘thousands of dead fish in Japan’ not linked to Fukushima sewage discharge

A social media video supposedly shows “thousands of dead fish” near a beach in Japan. Some argue that this is because of the discharge of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in the Pacific Ocean. The video, shared in Chinese and Korean, is hugely popular and circulated all over the world. According to news services ‘Euronieuws’ and ‘AFP’, the video is incorrect and shows old images.
