Something is definitely fishy with an aquarium in Japan.

They usually feed their penguins and sea otters horse mackerel.

However, due to inflation and low catch rate, they had to substitute it with cheaper mackerel.

The cheap fish is know beginning to become a bigger and bigger part of their diet.
