Two Million Fish Found Dead In Maryland
|
Around two million fish have died in the Chesapeake Bay area in Maryland, just days after two similar incidents elsewhere in the US baffled scientists. |
"Our working theory, that looks pretty strong, is that it's been caused by cold water stress." |
Just days ago, an estimated 500 small birds, mostly blackbirds, fell out of the sky in Louisiana. |
On New Year's Eve in Arkansas, thousands of the same species were found, followed by the discovery of around 100,000 dead fish in a river about a hundred miles away. |
Large fish kills have happened before in Chesapeake Bay, most notably in 1976 and 1980. Officials acknowledged that the most recent incident is the biggest since those events. |
Officials reported around 50 jackdaws had been found dead on a street in Sweden, and other unexplained mass fish deaths have occurred recently in Brazil and New Zealand. |
