Fish Kill in Shenandoah Attributed to Cold Oxygen Depletion
Virginia and West Virginia authorities investigate a major fish kill in the Shenandoah River killing bass, suckers, channel catfish, sunfish and minnows. Spokesman Ray Tesh cites low oxygen from an exceptionally icy winter, with warmer tributaries concentrating fish and provoking thermal shocks. Officials rule out pollution, noting the event extends downstream of Front Royal and is not a health hazard. Further temperature and oxygen testing planned.
