Thousands of dead fish turn up at Marina del Rey
Authorities are trying to determine what caused tens of thousands of fish to turn up dead in the waters off Marina del Rey over the weekend. Department deputies arrived, they discovered an estimated 70,000 dead anchovies floating in the water, along with other sea life, including sting rays and angel sharks. “Inside the marina here you have the sea walls that make it a confined space, so there’s only a certain amount of oxygen in the water immediate to the fish,” said bait expert Mike Spears. “It was a low tide, which means the water was going out, nothing was coming in from the ocean, so it was just stale water and they just suffocated in it, and everything around them suffocated, too.” Warmer temperatures can create algal blooms, which will suck up a lot of oxygen. That’s happened in the past, and hot weather always has been associated with low oxygen levels in the water.
