There is a follow up:
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/dec/19/mystery-solved-dead-fish-cornwall-marazion-beach-trawler"However, according to Gus Caslake, the chairman of the Cornish Sardine Management Association, one of its member vessels was responsible. It had been following shoals of fish that were closer to the shoreline than normal this winter, and was forced to release large numbers after it caught too many to safely pull aboard. The fish were in fact dumped by a trawler for safety reasons"
The fish were identified as sardines for which there apparently is no quota so the dumping was "legal".

Same thing happening with the sprat fishing in Inver. Sprat are non quota but can be mixed with joey mackerel or herring or be too small like needle eye so just dump. How any species in this day and age is non quota is madness

What a rubbish excuse - Id say they have it down to a tee, how much they can fill the net with to pull aboard - loads of lies - no consequences
6th mass extinction well under way and accelerating every day - next dinosaurs
