OMEN: Lagoon Turns BLOOD RED In Huatalco, Mexico - Several Days After Giant Fissure Opened Up And Swallowed A River In Veracruz?!

Red lagoon in Mexico.

March 6, 2016 - MEXICO - This lagoon situated in Huatalco, Mexico has turned blood red within the last 10 days.

The reddish water of 'La Salina' lagoon impacts residents' life and kills wildlife in the area.

After the mysterious overnight disappearance of a river near Veracruz, Mexico, it's now a lagoon that has unexpectedly turned color from green to red.

Scientists believe the color is a result of a red tide, a phenomenon in which estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae accumulate rapidly in the water column, which changes the color of the surface water.

The production of natural toxins and depletion of dissolved oxygen could be responsible for wildlife mortalities of marine and coastal species of fish, birds, marine mammals, and other organisms around the lagoon.

Although red tides appear to be natural in some locations, residents believe that this algae blloom is the result of increased nutrient loading from human activities and low precipitation.

Indeed, the 'La Salina' lagoon is known for being highly polluted and the sewage plant is not working properly.And there is the biblical explanation...

MASS FISH DIE-OFF: Massive Fish Kill In Various Lakes In Cartagena, Colombia?!

September 29, 2013 - COLOMBIA - Amazed some people come to see in the lagoon of hundreds of dead fish Chambacú. Apparently, as the biologist said Public Establishment Environmental Cartagena (EPA) Gabriel Luna, l a situation appears to have started two days ago.

The number of dead fish has not yet been posted but can be seen in other lakes such as St. Stephen and St. Lazarus, but there is more accumulation in Chambacú, because apparently spent the time to open the gate.

It follows that in the mangroves have more dead fish due to the strong odor that is perceived by the industry.

Hypothesis
According to Moon, the species of fish are more Lisas calls about 10 inches big and the cause would be associated with a drop in oxygen by heavy rains in recent days. Similarly habitat pollution with waste, can influence. - El Universal. [Translated]

MASS FISH DIE-OFF: Latest Reports Of Mysterious Fish Kills Across Europe - Mass Fish Die-Off In Lagoon In Santa Giusta, Italy; Thousands Of Dead Fish Found Floating In River Spree In Berlin, Germany And Massive Die-Off Of Oysters Due To "Unknown Disease" Along The Coast Of France?!

Thousands Of Dead Fish Found Floating In The River Spree In Berlin, Germany.

Dead fish floating in Spandau Canal on the water surface.

After the storms earlier this week there have been several places in Berlin to a fish kill. Especially in Spandau Canal between West and North Port, but also between the Spree and Gotzkowskybrücke Cross and the Teltow Canal (Bäkebrücke) drove a total of thousands of lifeless fish in the water.

"This is due to the heavy rain on Monday and the overflow of the combined sewer system," said the biologist Jens Puchmüller from the Fisheries Department on Thursday. Rain and canal water flows untreated from the crowded sump into the Spree. The nutrients are broken down by microorganisms carried along - but then lacked the needed oxygen to the fish. - BZ.

Massive Die-Off Of Oysters Due To "Unknown Disease" Along The Coast Of France.

For the past month, oyster farmers have watched powerless as their shellfish have died in droves with experts at a loss to explain the causes. "In some areas, 50 to 80 per cent of saleable oysters aged between two to three years have died out," said Olivier Laban, president of the shellfish producers' federation of Arcachon-Aquitaine, western France. "We have no idea what the origin of this blight is," he told Le Figaro.

Tests are under way at Ifremer, France's marine research institute, with samples taken from oysters along the West coast and the Mediterranean "All the samples show mortality rates that are higher than normal," said Tristan Renault, mollusc specialist at Ifremer.

  "All contain a deadly bacteria (for oysters): Vibro aesturianus. That's probably the murder weapon, but we still don't know who the murderer is. The unusual weather conditions this year are probably behind the phenomenon," he said. Some oyster farmers blame brutal temperature rises after a "rubbish" Spring and a sudden drop in salt levels in the water due to heavy rains.

They say adult oysters are increasingly fragile.

The profession is still recovering from a plague that has wiped out billions of baby oysters since it first struck in the Spring of 2008. The culprit was fond to be Oyster Herpes virus type 1, or OsHV-1. It triggered the worst crisis since the native European or "Portuguese" oyster was all but wiped out 30 years ago. Since the 1970s blight, almost all oyster farms in Europe have been restocked with the Pacific "creuse" oyster from Japan and British Columbia.

In the wake of the 2008 virus, annual production has fallen from 120,000 tonnes to 80,000 tonnes. "Oyster farmers have tried to adapt, but this (latest attack) is a different story," said Laurent Champeau, shellfish producers' spokesman in the Poitou-Charentes region. "These losses that are coming at the end of (the oyster life) cycle are much harder to mitigate. It means three years of work down the drain and almost inexistent room for manoeuvre." - Telegraph.

MASS FISH DIE-OFF: Thousands Of Dead Fish Appear In A Lagoon In Venice, Italy!

July 25, 2013 - ITALY - Die-off of fish in the lagoon. Thousands of dead fish were seen floating Friday night and yesterday morning in some areas of the central lagoon. In the morning the dead fish has also arrived in the internal channels of the city, also spotted in the Grand Canal. Mullets, go, passerini anguele dead from lack of oxygen in the water (anoxia).

Phenomenon also happened in other summers, but that now appears more massive. «Our technicians are intervened together to ASL», explains the Councillor for the Environment Gianfranco Bettin, «according to the first data the situation is quite normal. The lack of wind and currents caused a global warming of the waters of the lagoon, with obvious difficulties to native species, especially in areas south of the lagoon and the central lagoon. "

In the next hours the City should reach an agreement with the fishing cooperatives to organize the collection of dead fish to be launched in landfills managed by Veritas. An environmental problem has already emerged in recent days with the strong smell of rotting seaweed warned in some lagoon areas, particularly in Fusina and Campalto. the high temperatures of these days and the lack of wind caused the decay of algae.

Phenomenon exploded about twenty years ago with the invasion of giant seaweed, l 'Ulva lactuca, which then was collected with special boats of the company Bread, then alerted by Coinsorzio Venezia Nuova. Mayor Antonio Casellati had first applied to the Venice directive banning the use of phosphorus in detergents. And the situation had improved.

Less polluted waters also for the reduction of the factories in Marghera, and the presence of new treatment plants. But in the lagoon remain waste and poisons of the past activities. For this reason the fishermen ask for thorough checks on the real causes of death of the fish.

"The water near Marghera was very dark," relates one of them, "Thousands of dead fish floating on the surface." A load that the tide has shifted then to Venice. Triggering the alarm in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Is not the first such phenomenon, although its extent appears to be greater than the other times. Die-off of fish was also reported last winter, then because of the low temperatures which caused the freezing of a part of the lagoon fishermen nord.Secondo assists you in any case to a change in the presence of native fish in traditional areas. The change of climate and the great works in the lagoon have resulted in the reappearance of crabs and shellfish, but the disappearance of lagoon fish dishes like bisati and passerini. - La Nuova.
