Another theory of what happened here is that so many of the fish (bunker in this case) were packed
Together the oxygen was depleted from the water.[/QUO
u posted about dinoflakes we all have it in the fishtanks fish don't die from it plus I was in NJ last week in Belmar and the water ain't Red so there was no red killer algee anywhere water was straight blue
The latest info I have seen is leaning towards too many fish in one area. The unusually large school of bunker was chase and corralled into a small area by a big school of bluefish mixed with some stripers. A few old time fisherman said that this happens every so often. Here's the article I'm referencing if you want to take a look

Wow that's sad. I would have thought because the ocean is so huge the oxygen depleted areas would have quickly been swept away with the tides and new oxygen rich water replacing it... I guess that doesn't happen as quickly as I assumed it would.
That's the TV talking stupid they didn't even test the fish yet but they know they died from no oxygen I think its impossible for fish to run out of air when the ocean makes most of the oxygen we breathing
Looks like its 50/50.

Plankton makes oxygen so it can't be blamed for fish running out of air I read someplace that PB after that oil spil dumped chemicals to clean it up or sink it to the bottom not sure how that played out but it got cleaned up to fast and they paid bilions to restore the ocean and everything they polluted that didn't happen because it was just enough $ to pay the lawyers or it was enough $ to do both but lawyers went home with the whole pay out
