Interesting, I guess the spring thaw melt water carried nutrients that got resulted in an oxygen-depleting plankton bloom. IF the fish were herded in by predators, grab the rods and get down there!! Weird that the SF Chronicle picked this up, though...

That’s what I was thinking about the predators. If that was the case I’m sure we’d be hearing about it from the boys down south.

MY opinion: Governor Murphy brined the roads to the point where the salinity of the whole ocean is raised ! From the Asbury Park Press : ... the menhaden, called bunker colloquially, were probably chased into the creeks by seals and became trapped when the tide went out"

Experts link fish kill in Shrewsbury River estuary to low oxygen, predators

Hundreds of dead fish were still floating on the surface or lining the shallow banks of the Oceanport Creek Monday following a weekend fish kill.

Hadn't thought of seals which is pretty amazing since I spent many languid hours this summer watching seals feast on pogies (bunker) right off my dock...
