According to Thai media, including Thai media, a diver who was scuba diving on Similan Island in Phuket posted the video on social media, saying it was filmed on the 28th of last month when Myanmar's strong earthquake occurred.
The picture shows fish lying sideways on coral reefs and underwater rocks and not moving.
Dr. Thorne Tamlongnawat, an associate professor of fisheries at Katsetsat University, estimated that fish may have instinctively laid at the bottom of the sea to avoid the tsunami. He then said it was the first time fish reactions were detected after the earthquake.
Another oceanographer, an acquaintance of Dr. Tamlong, also claimed to have seen dugongs move quickly from shallow to deep waters after the earthquake.
Of course, there was no tsunami because the earthquake did not occur in the sea at the time, but it is likely that the vibration occurred in the sea because the sea floor shook like land.
If strong vibrations were detected, the fish would have instinctively moved quickly or sought refuge on the floor in search of safe havens, Dr. Tamron explained.
Netizens are asking "Mysterious Nature World","Animal Sense Is Better Than Humans","Does Aquarium Fish Show Such Behavior?" give a back reaction.
