Spate of Derwent fish deaths [TASMANIA] February 25, 2011 12.01am EXPERTS have no answers on what has caused the death of thousands of squid in the River Derwent this week. Dead and dying arrowhead squid have been washed ashore or spotted floating on the water at Austins Ferry and Berriedale since Tuesday. Locals say they have never seen so many dead fish. The Environment Protection Authority yesterday confirmed reports of more dead squid further down the river. It is the third case of mass fish deaths in the Derwent in the space of two weeks. Early this week a large mass of dead juvenile barracouta was found in Windermere Bay near Claremont Primary School. www.themercury.com.au/article/2011/02/25/209871_tasmania-news.html

Hundreds of dead fish found in Ventura Harbor Monday, April 18, 2011 VENTURA HARBOR (KABC) -- Hundreds of fish have been found dead in Ventura Harbor. This is the second large fish kill in Southern California this year. This time, hundreds of dead fish are floating in Ventura Harbor. The phone calls started coming into the Ventura Harbor Patrol around 6 a.m. Monday. Boaters were already noticing a large number of dead fish floating in the water. One officer said that in the past year, there have been three or four times that this has happened, and in recent days, he was worried that this was going to happen again. Once again, something's fishy along our Southern California coastline: Another fish die-off, this one in the Ventura Harbor. "It looks like the majority of them are anchovies and sardines and I saw a few perch though also," said Pat Hummer, senior patrol officer at the harbor. "We're talking thousands, there's a lot of fish." abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/ventura_county&id=8081041

Sharks Dying by the Dozens Due to Internal Bleeding Thu May 12, 2011 01:28 PM ET Dozens of leopard sharks have been washing up dead in California since April, and now a necropsy shows at least one of the sharks died of massive internal bleeding, such that blood was even coming out of the shark's skin, according to a Daily News report. BLOG: Shark Fins Traced to Endangered Populations The necropsy, conducted by the California Department of Fish and Game, uncovered "inflammation, bleeding and lesions in the brain, and hemorrhaging from the skin near vents." According to the Daily News story, bleeding was additionally detected around the tested female's other internal organs... Sean Van Sommeran, executive director of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation in nearby Santa Cruz, suspects "we're only seeing a tiny fraction of what's going on," meaning more sharks and other animals are likely being affected by the problem. news.discovery.com/animals/sharks-dying-by-the-dozens-due-to-internal-bleeding.htmlDead sharks found in Redwood Shores were suffering from internal bleeding, necropsy shows Updated: 05/12/2011 06:48:52 AM PDT www.insidebayarea.com/oaklandtribune/localnews/ci_18046341
