This Fish Sailed From Japan to Washington on an Unmanned Tsunami Boat

On an epic two-year journey across the Pacific, a bait box in a Japanese boat turned into an aquarium when five striped beakfish made it their home.

The 6-metre fibreglass boat probably started off from Japan when the tsunami hit in March 2011. For some time, debris disloged by the giant wave has been turning up on the US west coast, usually loaded with marine plants and invertebrates such as limpets and barnacles. But this is the first time that live fish have been found after the 7600-kilometre journey.

Apparently they are also quite tasty.
