Israeli researchers have posited a possible scientific explanation for the Christian “miraculous catch of fish” — two separate accounts set in northern Israel’s Sea of Galilee, in which Jesus turned unsuccessful attempts to catch fish into massive hauls.

The research, published in Water Resources Research last week, points to incidences of strong winds that triggered internal waves. These waves caused low-oxygen water from deeper layers of the lake to rise up, probably suffocating the fish to death.
