Experts say climate change may have altered the behaviour of the fish, leading to attacks on people in the sea
Fish have started attacking people off beaches in popular Spanish resorts, leaving swimmers with bleeding bite wounds. According to The Mirror, holidaymakers have been reporting attacks from "piranha-style" fish which have left swimmers bloodied and covered in teeth marks.
The “obladas” are usually peaceful, also known as saddled seabream, they are a type of fish commonly caught and eaten. But scientists have warned that the changing climate could be the cause of this new behaviour. The fish, which can reach a size of up to 30cm, is omnivorous and usually prefers eating small invertebrates like prawns but scientists have said rising temperatures could be behind their newfound taste for tourists.
