Catfish near Chernobyl NPP

Flock of catfish in a river, which was used in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant's cooling system (just some 300-500m away from the 4th reactor). Plenty of huge (some 1.5-2.0m long) fishes can be seen everyday in rivers and lakes around Chernobyl, where fishing is still prohibited.

Recipe for Fissionable Fish Fillets

Catch 25 mutant catfish from the river. Bake at 3000 degrees F in Reactor 4 for 5 seconds. Serve hot within 50 years. A fissionable treat that's fun to eat!

There are some massive catfish in the area but it's not because of any radiation effect, just because there's noone around to catch them!

@ReneeNme

Yes, they are!!

[ReneeNme]

@applesweeter No. This breed of catfish naturally grow long with age. Healthy adults can live as long as 100 years. Amazing, eh ??

@Number1BadBoyInnit Indeed.

@best496 its called evolution bitch

[applesweeter]

I think that they are so long because of the genetic mutation.
