Oh, that's just another coincidental massive fish kill....sorry


The fish kill was reported to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries and the cause has not yet been determined, the parish said. The fish were found in an area that has been impacted by the oil from the BP oil spill, the parish said.

The dead fish include pogies, redfish, drum, crabs, shrimp and freshwater eel, the parish said.

Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser said he has asked Wildlife & Fisheries for a quick determination of the cause. The parish has also requested testing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Must be another 'lack of oxygen or red tide'

[Wild Cobra]

LOL...

I wonder if they put the fish pics in a road story?

[4>0rings]

Happens every year /CC

[DMX7]

Looks like they died of natural causes to me.

[Nbadan]

Yeah, oil is natural....rush said so!

[Wild Cobra]

Must be all asphalt leaving the rocks behind, getting in the Gulf waters...

[ChumpDumper]

How many Superdomes of fish is that?

[Parker2112]

fuck.....

[Parker2112]

Lol? WTF? WC=DIK-WAD.

[Winehole23]

See the banner, Parker. WC was just following Dan's goofy lead in.

:lol

[Parker2112]

WC=DIK-WAD nonetheless.

The joke doesnt make the situation humorous. If I posted a pic of a European dude in short shorts, I'd give him a pass however. But I wont do that because this situation isnt humorous. As I said.

[Parker2112]

Im drunk and this shit aint even humorous

[MannyIsGod]

In all seriousness it probably is a fish kill linked to hypoxia and not oil but as i mentioned in the other thread that doesn't mean humans don't have effects on those events.

[Wild Cobra]

See the banner, Parker. WC was just following Dan's goofy lead in.
Yep.

Roads often look like that photo of the bayou does.

I'd be curious exactly where that picture's taken. Bayou Chaland is a large area. Is it natural, or from the oil? When the picture was taken, cause has not yet been determined. Could be something other than the BP spill.

I agree it probably was hypoxia, but am open to it being the oil.

[Parker2112]

the shit is popping up from Corpus to FLA. The oil eating microbes are the culprit. book it.

[Parker2112]

oil eating microbes cause hypoxia

[Wild Cobra]

oil eating microbes cause hypoxia
Not the ones they discovered eating the oil.

It's more likely temperature related if it's hypoxia. The ocean waters alone wouldn't have much an effect, but from the heating of the length of the Mississippi...

[Parker2112]

Not the ones they discovered eating the oil.

oil eating microbes cause hypoxia

At their (the blooms in the gulf due to the BP spill ) peak they dropped the O2 in that water by about 20% but thats not near dead zone levels. More likely are the blooms that were highlighted in the other fish kill thread that have much more to do with farm runoff (from that big ass river that runs through LA).

Hydrocarbon bacteria are a possible cause but I don't think they're the likely cause.

i think you are talking about algae here

[Winehole23]

Manny might know what he's talking about, Parker.

[Winehole23]

If five minutes of googling on the subject taught me anything, microbial respiration connected to algal blooms, seems to be the proximate cause of hypoxia.

[Winehole23]

A moment's reflection might have led me to it quicker, though.:lol

[Parker2112]

What the fuck would I know. Im drunk ;)

[Parker2112]

Oktoberfest brew rocks. Bavarian Lager. Woooo-hooo. kiss my ass:)

[Parker2112]

post some pics in the new thread, you bastards. And I wanna see some titties.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm talking about both. Algae are microbes.

[Parker2112]

youre a smarter man than i

[Parker2112]

tits in my thread though

[Winehole23]

Are porn sites blocked on your computer or do the conditions of your release forbid you from accessing them? :lol

I want familiar titties, not strangers

[Winehole23]

O-kay.

[ALWAYS bet on BLACK]

when will another 'Cane finish what Katrina started???

O-kay.

Just tell me two things: 1. do you actually look like doug moe? and 2. where did I see a pic of WC?

thanks in advance.

[Parker2112]

who is the blatant couple in your sig?

[Winehole23]

Just tell me two things: 1. do you actually look like doug moe? Not much really. I just like Doug Moe.


and 2. where did I see a pic of WC?There used to be one in his avatar, but you might have seen one somewhere else.

[DarrinS]

Turns out it was from natural causes.

Lack of oxygen. Good guess! You're getting better at this whole nature thing.


State: Fish kill unrelated to oil spill

NEW ORLEANS - Low tide and high temperatures caused low oxygen levels that suffocated huge numbers of fish in Plaquemines Parish, a spokswoman for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said Wednesday.


Department biologists found the fish kill in Bayou Chaland had nothing to do with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Olivia Watkins said.

After the dead fish were found on Friday, Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser asked for an investigation, because oil from the BP PLC spill had affected the area.

Watkins said the area is bounded on one side by a rock dam, with a shallow pass to the Gulf of Mexico on the other.

"When the tide is low, it becomes a pool," she said. "We had a low tide and all the fish got trapped" in water less than two feet deep.

Hot water holds less oxygen than cold water, and heat speeds metabolisms so plants and animals need more oxygen. The fish suffocated because the water held too little oxygen to keep them alive, Watkins said.

Such fish kills are common in Louisiana's shallow waters in late summer and early fall.

The heat also contributed to low oxygen levels that killed starfish-like creatures called brittle stars which washed up along parts of Barataria Bay earlier last week, Watkins said.

Brittle stars live on the bottom, where oxygen levels drop first, and cannot swim up out of the low-oxygen areas as fish can.
