Texas Fish deaths (12 June 2017)

This mass fish death even occurred around the same time that I was traveling back from Corpus Christi (A little ways up the road) I spotted it on the news and thought it pretty bad considering we'd only just holidayed nearby.

While looking through information today on the subject of "Lectin's" (since my fathers got all paranoid about eating anything with Lectin's in) I started looking at various things. One was the fact that GM crops have higher levels of Lectin's than organic food sources (since Lectin's are part of what is tampered with to make them GM)

The other fact was while looking to see if a food we tried Pachyrhizus Erosus (Jicama/Yam Bean or Mexican Potato (wikipedia.org)) contained lectin's. I didn't reach an answer on that however I dead read that while the root is edible, the rest of the plant and it's seeds contain Rotenone (wikipedia.org) which can be used as both a pesticide and a way to kill fish.

Jicama while originally grown in South America and Mexico has also been grown in Texas. So I'm wondering if the storms that hit the region at the time might have damaged the plants through torrential rain and caused the toxins to spill into the nearby water supply. (The toxins effect fish respiratory systems) If that's the cause, I'd suggest any Farmers growing Jicama are warned not to grow Jicama near water bodies and rivers.

if it is "Red-Tide" then that would explain no predator action.

with ever increasing rain on inland areas(note recent flooding in the US over the last year or soo) this type of thing is likely to happen a lot more.
the run off of nitrogen producing algae blooms in hatchery areas should be a priority for the US industry because of the number of jobs & money involved.
however... news items would suggest the wild life services have been directly De-Funded by this current US government.
and... there is a guise of "climate change" about this event so this type of thing is probably going to be deliberately ignored.

Might as well call Texas the "Dead Fish State", as often as it happens.

Interesting or novel theories. Definitely breaks the monotony of the usual explanations they dole out.

Huge Fish Die-Off in Washington's Puget Sound Blamed on Hot Weather

Story Highlights
Hot weather over Memorial Day weekend led to a massive die-off of anchovies in Puget Sound.
The fish died from a lack of oxygen, scientists say.

Thousands of anchovies washed up on the shores of Puget Sound in Washington last week after hot weather over the Memorial Day weekend changed the feeding patterns of the fish, state wildlife officials say.
The fish reportedly began to wash up on beaches at Case Inlet near Belfair, Washington, early last week and continued to do so throughout the week, KOMO News reported.
"It's sad. It's really sad," resident Kristen Wiseman told KOMO of the scores of dead fish scattered on the beach near her home.
State fish biologists told the news station the hot weather last weekend prompted the fish to swim closer to the shore to feed on plankton. When the tide went out, the anchovies became trapped and died from a lack of oxygen

80 tons of oysters killed to prevent spread of deadly parasite.
only problem is the government department that order it are always too slow and only do something after it has spread just to make it appear as if they are doing something.
