Does lightning kill fish when it strikes the ocean?

Asked by gorillapaws (30523points) March 2nd, 2008 from iPhone

I’ve always wondered what happens when lightning strikes in the open ocean. Obviously it doesn’t kill every fish in the sea, but does it kill all the fish as it makes its way to the sea floor? Does it even go to the sea floor? Any scientific information would be great. Thanks.
