A: Hey! Did you hear anything about the oysters in Hiroshima?

B: No! What’s up with the oysters?

A: It’s not good. Lots of them are dying!

B: Seriously? That's terrible! Hiroshima makes most of Japan’s oysters, right?

A: Exactly! Farmers started harvesting in October, but found a lot were already dead.

B: Wow. That’s a huge problem. Is it just a few farms?

A: No, it’s widespread. One farmer says only 20-30% were alive when they first checked. Now, it's like 70-90%!

B: That’s awful! What about the oysters they were planning to harvest later?

A: Those are dying too! They’re worried they won’t have any oysters to sell in February.

B: Oh no! They’re even cancelling an event!

A: Yeah! The farmer says the situation is critical. He wants help from the government.

B: Poor farmers! Hopefully, they can figure out what's happening.
