Shungo Takahashi measures dead horseshoe crabs at a tidal flat in Kita-Kyushu.
According to a local horseshoe crab protection group, 50 to 60 dead horseshoe crabs are found annually at the Sonehigata tidal flat, one of the largest habitats of horseshoe crabs in Japan. But 490--the largest number over the last 20 years--have already been discovered this year.
Hiroko Koike, a researcher at the Kyushu University Museum who studies horseshoe crabs at Sonehigata, said the overall health of the crabs appears good.
"Rises in the sea level caused by global warming, shortages of places to lay eggs and a lack of nutrition could have resulted in their deaths," Koike said. "We have to be careful to identify the cause."
It was like a scene from a terrifying movie. Tyler McQuillen was spearfishing when he was attacked by a great white shark. A GoPro camera captured the frightening encounter.
"I thought it was my friend Brent playing a joke on me, just tugging on my fin. So I thought nothing of it and I didn't turn around," he said.
But that quickly changed once McQuillen felt one of his flippers being ripped right off.
"And I turned around and he was thrashing my fin, and I realized it was a great white," he said. That's when he knew - it was on.
The 22-year-old quickly retrieved the spear gun he had dropped- just in time.

Deceased swordfish
New Hampshire Marine Mammal Rescue arrived to investigate what happened to the large fish, which is typically found in deeper water.
"We decided to take it back to the Center to see if we could find any internal signs that may point to why it washed up, as swordfish would normally be offshore in deep water," New Hampshire Marine Mammal Rescue said.
Rescue Assistant and Aquarist Rob Royer performed an informal necropsy on the swordfish and did not discover any signs of having been hooked, according to CBS Boston.
The rescue group also reported there were no signs of plastic in its stomach, but said it appeared it had not eaten in some time.
