BP oil spill caused a Oil eating bacteria to be used to degrade the oils in the water but they use up alot of oxygen and therefore once getting into smaller areas or streams the oxygen in the water is used up too quickly and the fish cant sustain life in that area. Also the oil spills and runoff from farms are causing this as well.

WOW! What a festering mass of ocean creatures. Some of the comments in the link are quite interesting.

Sorry, can't blame this on BP. Read the end of the article, it has been updated....

'UPDATE: The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries investigated the fish kill and determined that it was the result of low oxygen levels caused by low tides and high temperatures.'

Not the oil bacteria.
