The Mullet Counting Problems of 1986 was a dilemma among the Shiverpool citizens about the mullets, lasting from 1986 to 1987. This was due to the size of each mullet, which became heavier. Even though the year before they all could count the mullets, the breeding of smaller fish concluded in overweight mullets resulting in a series of events. Another factor was the amount of fishes, making it hard to count. Today, it happens less frequently than the years before, as the new Mullet-Touraer Counting Station has been designed with safety features.
