Large Swarms of Fish along the Coast of Acapulco

The shores of Acapulco's beaches were this weekend teeming with masses of fish packed so tightly they looked like an oil slick from above.

Thousands of sardines, anchovies, stripped bass and mackerel surged along the coast of the Maxican Resort in an event believed to be linked to the devastating Japanese tsunami.

Delighted fishermen rushed out in Wooden motor boats, abandoning their rods and nets and simply scooping the fish up with buckets.
