The Environment Agency says the deaths are weather-related and normal for the time of year.
Thousands more dead and dying shellfish have been washed up on a beach on a stretch of coast where there has been a mass crustacean die-off.
But Mr Marshall, 58, said a large deposit of black debris had just arrived on the tide and was not normal.He also questioned rough seas had killed the creatures, saying the waters had been calm.The Environment Agency said some young fish were vulnerable to being stranded on beaches like Saltburn's"This black area is not usually here - usually it's a really beautiful beach," she said.

Associations between fetal or infancy pet exposure and food allergies: The Japan Environment and Children’s StudyThe hygiene hypothesis suggests that pet exposure is effective in preventing allergic disease, and some studies have reported the beneficial effects of dog exposure during fetal development or early infancy on food allergy. However, the effects of exposure to pets other than dogs on the kinds of food allergies remains unaddressed. This study aimed to explore the effect of exposure to various species of pets on the risk of food allergies. We obtained information on pet exposure and food allergy from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study, a nationwide, prospective birth cohort study that included 97,413 mothers and their children. We examined the associations between exposure to various species of pets during fetal development or early infancy and the incidence risk of food allergies. We conducted logistic regression analysis for each pet species, causative food, and timing of exposure. Exposure to dogs or cats during fetal development or early infancy was estimated to reduce the incidence risk of food allergies until the age of 3 years. Dog exposure was estimated to reduce the incidence risk of egg, milk, and nut allergies, and cat exposure was estimated to reduce the incidence risk of egg, wheat, and soybean allergies. However, hamster exposure was estimated to increase the incidence risk of nut allergy. In conclusion, the association between pet exposure and food allergies might differ depending on the pet species and causative food. Continued dog and cat exposure from fetal development to infancy was estimated to reduce the incidence risk of food allergies. The findings of this study shall aid in the design of future studies.
