The 17-second clip shows potentially hundreds of killer whales surrounding the fishing boat, looking for an easy meal.
"There's something a little creepy about this. I think it's because, if they wanted to, those orcas could seriously f*** s*** up. Beautiful animals. A bit scary though!" one Reddit user commented.It is not clear where the video was taken, but dozens of small fish can be seen swimming in the water around the boat.
And this is probably why the orcas gathered there, David Lusseau, professor of marine sustainability at the Technical University of Denmark, toldA stock photo shows orcas swimming underwater with a large group of fish. An enormous pod of orcas has been filmed surrounding a fishing trawler at night in search of a free meal.
Although it is not certain where the video was taken, Lusseau said the fish in the water could be herring. In which case, the video was probably filmed off Norway.in the Norwegian and Barents Seas. They are most commonly seen in Norwegian waters from November to January."This is a widespread phenomenon across fisheries and dolphin species: essentially there is an easy meal and the killer whales are taking advantage of it," Lusseau said.
"Dolphins can get hurt or caught by accident, and of course fishing gear can be damaged or destroyed; without talking about the loss of fish for the fishers."
