Trawlers are big ships. Such big ships catch too many fish. Martinis is the second biggest trawler in the world. It spilt fish in the sea. Its net broke and more than 100,000 dead fish float in the Atlantic Ocean off the French coast. These fish had nothing to eat so most died. Photos of the dead fish shocked France and French officials investigated the situation. The reason for the dead fish to float was due to the net burst.
