Fishing Accident Dumps 400K Dead Fish
Omega Protein Company boats about 3 miles from Mississippi Sound were fishing for Menhaden when they apparently snagged debris under the water and the boats’ nets tore open dropping 400 thousand dead fish into the water. Menhaden are not fish used for human consumption, the Omega Protein apparently processes these fish into fish meal and fish oil based products used in pet food and agricultural products.
Interestingly enough I read this on the wiki page about Menhaden.
Menhaden are not used for human consumption. They die quickly, and they spoil rapidly if not immediately gutted and iced. They are also very bony and smelly.
Though there are no photos, you can imagine how disgusting it must be.
