What happens to the fish if the ocean is struck by lightning?
If lightning strikes the ocean, it is unlikely to harm the fish directly as the electrical current dissipates quickly in water. However, nearby fish could be affected by the sudden sound and turbulence caused by the strike. In rare cases, the shock waves from lightning could stun or kill fish in the immediate vicinity.
