So long, and thanks for all the fish

I love this observation! All the fish leave an area before an earthquake. Of course, there are lots of other reasons for fish droughts, such as weather, ocean currents, overfishing, etc, but I like the earthquake reason the best! It's at least as strong as many other correlations people like to put up.

It's the Piezoelectric effect I tell ya!
Their lateral lines don't like the spiky electric field so they depart the vicinity.
