Arkansas Game & Fish is trying to figure out why 100,000 fish in Northwest Arkansas turned up dead. They were found along a 20-mile stretch between the Ozark Dam and Highway 109 Bridge in Franklin County.
The 20-mile stretch along the Arkansas River where an estimated 100,000 drum fish were found washed ashore and floating looks much different now.
Keith Stephens with Game and Fish explains, "We got a call last week from a tug boat operator that found the fish out on the river along the bank, in the river channel and we immediately dispatched somebody to the area to take a look."
Investigators from local and state agencies took samples from the affected area. Stephens says fish kills occur every year, but the magnitude of this one is unusual, and disease could be the cause.
A pollutant would have affected cross species. Stephens says, "Ninety-nine percent of them were Drum, which is a bottom feeder. It's not a game fish in Arkansas."
Some fish collected were alive and visibly sick. They have been taken to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff for testing.

Blackbirds in Beebe and drum perch in Ozark! Could it be the work of some madman or Islamic terrorist?! Keep an eye on this one, PR2011! If the razorback hogs start dropping, we've got a major problem!
ReplyDeleteChief Inspector Jacques Clouseau
The Conspiracy Folks are already thinking some sort of Government Testing gone bad!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching, but it is funny how we often never hear the results of the tests conducted to find a cause.
Wait and see, and run searches on razorback hogs is about all I can do...lol
