Large numbers of sardines became stranded inside a traditional stone fish weir in Penghu as the tide went out yesterday.
The owner discovered the fish during a routine inspection of the structure near Wude in Magong.
News quickly spread, and residents arrived with nets and buckets to collect the fresh catch.
Local fishermen say the sardines likely followed the rising tide toward shore to feed on seaweed, but failed to escape before the water receded.
Pacific reef herons were also seen circling the area in search of a meal.
Several other migratory fish species have been found trapped in Wude's stone fish weirs this year, which fishermen say reflects the diversity of the area's marine life.
