Mystery over millions of dead fish in California harbour
Californian fishermen and harbour chiefs were puzzled after millions of dead
anchovies were found floating in a marina just south of Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Experts said the fish, found at a harbour in Redondo Beach, may have died from
lack of oxygen due to algae, while locals wondered if high winds overnight
might have something to do with it.
"It looks like what happens to goldfish when you don't change the water in the
tank, mouth open and belly up," said local official Bill Workman, cited by the
Los Angeles Times newspaper.
"There are no visible signs of any toxins that might have caused (the deaths)
and our early assessment is that this was oxygen depletion," he said, adding:
"There are no oil slicks or leaking of substances into the water."
Locals at Redondo Beach, where the stench from the dead fish hung over King
Harbour, suggested that high winds could have driven the fish into the harbour,
where their sheer numbers would have reduced the oxygen available.
Experts were cautious. "What we're trying to tease apart is whether it's a
consequence of algae build-up, a fish build-up or something toxic in the
water," said David Caron of the University of southern California.
