Mystery of large menhaden kill baffles state biologists
More than 20 000 menhaden washed up in Old Pass Lagoon this week as DER officials and biologists search for a cause. Water tests show adequate oxygen and normal temperatures around 68 to 69 degrees. Officials rule out toxins, parasites, netting, and starvation, stressing the need for facts despite ongoing analysis and concerns over harbor degradation and foul odors. Community leaders press for county and state action.
