An angler had a unique experience while fishing in Matagorda Bay. He witnessed millions of fish swimming together and many dead. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department got involved, pinpointing a blend of issues that caused this fish kill. The culprits included low oxygen levels, elevated salinity and temperatures, and reduced water flow. This unfortunate event, affecting species like Southern flounder and spot croaker, seems to be a one-off incident, brought about by a complex interplay of environmental factors.
