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

A moment's reflection might have led me to it quicker, though.![]()

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.
Heard it on GMA this morning.
