Millions of dead fish found in California marina (16 images)
Now this is happening frequently, but we humans have still got no answer to this situation. Why is it so..??? Why are we not concerned about such massive deaths ???
Millions of dead sardines are clogging a marina in Redondo Beach, a city south of Los Angeles (8 March), and nobody knows precisely what caused the mass die-off, U.S. media outlets reported.
All day Tuesday, local television covered the efforts of authorities to clean up the area and explain the surprising situation, which made for memorable sights such as dozens of boats literally floating on a sea of dead fish a foot deep, the Los Angeles Times said in a story posted on its Web site.

The millions of fish, mainly sardines but also a few mackerel, initially appeared in the area north of King Harbor Marina.
"Basically, they're all over the port area," assistant marina manager Jason McMullin said, adding an incoming tide containing toxins could have brought the fish into the zone.
Although it's not certain yet, the cause might actually be the appearance of an elevated number of algae in the area, if higher concentrations of oxygen in the water can be proven, University of Southern California researchers said.
The massive presence of algae in an area of water results not only in higher oxygen consumption there but also produces toxins that could prove fatal for marine life, USC professor David Caron said.

Preliminary reports by experts suggest "deprivation of oxygen" as the cause of the fish kill, but so far proof is lacking that the situation has an "environmental" cause, officials in Redondo Beach said.
In principle, the massive gathering of fish in a relatively small enclosed area could result in a lack of oxygen in the water there, but officials with the local city hall said that they are conducting tests of the water in the marina to determine if there might be toxins, oil or chemicals in the water that could harm sea life.
