This has happened many times over the yrs up here in Maine and other places. Lack of oxygen due to the fish being hearded together by larger fish eating them. It gets so bad at times that they depleat the oxygen enough to kill the lobsters in the floating lobster crates-called cars-. Was so bad in some areas that the decaying bunker fouled the water for the rest of the season. even in rivers like the Kenebec,sasanoa,Sheepskot and several others.It's amazing to see it happen. Watched the blues pack then together so tight they were 100yrds across and as many as could had their heads out of water. Then they just started to die by the thousands. Stripers swam away but the blues were stuck in the mess they made an died with them.It's actually a very common occurance in shallow coastal waters.Just not always in the same location each time. Ron
