SOUTH AFRICA’S SARDINE DIE-OFF IS SPREADING

Thousands of dead sardines are washing ashore, and now they’re appearing farther east.

Tests detected a virus never before found in South African sardines, more than 99% genetically similar to one linked to catastrophic sardine die-offs in Australia.

It’s already gone beyond the beaches.

Sardines clogged a cooling-water intake at Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, temporarily forcing one unit to cut output.

Now scientists believe even more dead fish could still be offshore.
