Deadly combination for the fish.It's a hot year and Miami isn't all that prudent with fertilizer runoff and raw sewage dumping into the bay.In the fish runs Salmon and Trout were raised in any nitrates in the spring water the fish runs operate from came from farms above the aquifer. The fish were okay until the temps hit 105 and the sun which heated the water in the concrete runs.Pollution (mostly nitrates) and extremely hot water deprives them of oxygen.So what was going on? Red Tide bloom, or what?
Pufferfish are garbage, anyway.
It seem you are correct.
Local news story says Hot weather mostly
What we know so far is that dissolved oxygen levels in the water near the location were very low and temperatures were very high. Nutrients from fertilizers, septic effluent, sewage spills, pet waste, and more can feed algae blooms and lead to low oxygen conditions in the water column -- causing fish kills.2 days ago
