When lightning strike the sea why don't all the fish die?
Some fish actually do die, if they are unfortunate to swim near where the lightning strikes. However, the electricity from the bolt of lightning is dispersed through the water only over a short distance. When lightning strikes the ocean, there is not enough electric current to lethally charge the worlds water supply, so most fish are safe. ----------- First of all, some fish do die. However the electricity dissipates (becomes weaker from the electricity spreading out) and there are a lot of fish in the oceans but there is so much water for them to be in. Have you heard the rumor that animals know when a storm is coming? A lot of them can tell by slight changes in the atmosphere such as pressure, temperature, and humidity. ---------- When water is struck, the power is transferred through millions of gallons of water to the ground and very limited amounts in comparison would affect fish. The fish may still feel a shock at a certain distance, especially due to their very sensitive lateral line, but it most likely would not cause any harm. --------- The short answer is that the effects of a lightning strike are very local, and anything outside the immediate range will be unharmed. -------- Since the lightning has to travel all the way to the ocean floor then the shock is not as strong as if the fish were in the air and the lightning struck them.
If lightning hits a river do the fish die?
Fish in the water are at risk of being killed by lightning strikes, as the electrical current can travel through the water. However, the extent of the impact depends on various factors such as the distance from the lightning strike and the fish species. In general, fish closer to the strike are more likely to be affected.
50 percent of all fish an shellfish are harvested from what ocean each year?
Over fifty percent of fish and shellfish that are harvested from oceans come from Alaska. Alaska is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and Arctic Ocean.
When lightning strikes the sea do all the fish die?
No, not all fish die when lightning strikes the sea. Fish are generally insulated from the electrical current due to the water's resistance, and many can swim to deeper waters or hide in crevices to avoid direct contact with the electric discharge. However, some fish close to the strike may be affected.
If lightning strikes the ocean can the fish die?
When water is struck, the power is transferred through millions of gallons of water and very limited amounts in comparison would affect fish. The fish may still feel a shock at a certain distance, especially due to their very sensitive lateral line, but it most likely would not cause any harm.
Why don't fish get struck by lightning in the ocean?
Some do, but they're not many enough to matter.
Does lightning strike fish in the ocean?
Yes, occasionally.

Alxemy how to make eel?

What happens to a freshwater fish if it is placed in the ocean?
it dies
What happens if there is an overpopulation of fish in the ocean?
The fish will run out of food and a bunch of them will starve to death.
Do fish suffer from lightning?
the fish majorly suffer from lightning because the lightning turns them into a mermaid
What Happens to Fish when lighting hits the ocean?
Depends. Fish, or any other living creature close to the strike will most likely die. A bit further away, nothing happens. Somewhere inbetween it'll be unpleasant and harmful but survivable.
If lightening strikes a pond do the fish die?
Fish in a pond struck by lightning may die due to the electrical charge passing through the water, which can cause injury or death. The extent of the impact on the fish depends on factors such as the strength of the lightning strike, how close the fish are to the strike, and the conductivity of the water.
What happens if you put a fish from the ocean in a tank of tap water?
Well if you do that it can be hard for them to survive because they are so used to the Ocean! I'd rather not do that!

Is it dangerous to be on the ocean in a lightning storm?
Yes, it is dangerous to be on the ocean during a lightning storm. Lightning can strike the water's surface and travel through the water, potentially harming anyone in the vicinity. It's best to seek safe shelter during a storm.
