Florida- large amount of aqua life killed for unknown reasons

Since Monday in the South West of Florida, an awful discovery was made which consists of many aqua lives floating in water.  Few tourists from Naples witness this heart-breaking event and one of them spoke out and said that they couldn’t help out when discovering different interesting marine life on the edges of the coast.

Researchers said that numerous studies will be done on the samples collected and their aim is to work out on what killed the creatures in this area. Biologists stated that maybe the fishes were pushed towards the seashore due to level of stress. Another researcher also highlighted that the large pieces of algae found in collier country can be poisonous for the marine life. Besides, according to the water samples collected analysis clearly shows that the level of oxygen was relatively low which can lead to the death of fishes in water.

No signs of parasites, red tide or diseases were found in the seawater and the creatures from collier country.  Nevertheless, biologists still need to analyse some seawater and dead sharks from the beach, thus leaving a gap in finding the real causes of the dead fishes.
