Thousands of dead fish have been reported washed ashore at Quintana Beach County Park in Brazoria County along the Texas Gulf Coast.
said the dead fish were found at the far end of Bryan Beach, near the mouth of the Brazos River, approximately six miles down the coast from Quintana Park. County officials said warmer water, which can’t hold as much oxygen as cooler water, was to blame for the mass fish deaths.
When water rises above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, it becomes hard for Menhaden to receive enough oxygen to survive, Quintana Beach County Park said in a Facebook post. Shallow waters warm more quickly and if Menhaden become trapped, they will suffer from hypoxia, a state where oxygen levels are insufficient to maintain homeostasis. In these circumstances, the fish will behave more erratically, further depleting their oxygen levels. microscopic phytoplankton"So in a nutshell, it was the perfect storm to deplete oxygen levels inshore," Quintana Beach County Park said.
