Massive Fish Kill Reported In Oyster Creek Discharge Canal

It might be the cold weather. It might be a predator. But state Department of Environmental Protection has no way to help the thousands of menhaden who have choked a Oyster Creek discharge canal over the past week, according to app.com

More than 5,000 fish have died. The water temperature in the canal water is hovering in the high 40-degree range, but water downstream is in the mid-30s, the story states.

DEP spokesperson Larry Ragonese and Exelon spokesperson Suzanne D’Ambrosion both said the fish kill was not related to any plant operations.
