Giant Undulating Anchovy School (Video)

It’s the biggest aggregation of anchovies seen in near-shore waters in three decades, according to scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego.

Anchovies can typically be found in the world’s major oceans and on pizzas, where they are prized for their ability to completely ruin the flavor. But prior to fulfilling their pizza-sabotaging destinies, schools of anchovies typically keep their distance from the shore.

Upon investigating, scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography “said it is unclear why the unusually large school moved into shallow waters off the coast,” which maybe defeats the purpose of having institutions of oceanography.

“It is rare to see so many anchovy abutting the surf zone,” one SIO professor told CNN. He also estimated the size of this batch to be anywhere from one million to 100 million, pointing to a possible prior career as a contractor.
