When lightning strikes the ocean, it triggers electrical currents that can kill fish by messing up the signals that control their hearts and other organs. Fortunately for marine life, the currents spread out and weaken until they become too weak to do any harm.

I believe it is because when lightning hits water it spreads out mostly on the surface, so the fish that are down below are not very effected by the lighting's current
