The DEEP is investigating reports of dead fish along the shoreline throughout the state, including in New London. (Patch Graphic)
NEW LONDON, CT The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is reporting numerous sightings of dead fish along the Connecticut shoreline from Darien to New London.
They said these incidents, known as fish kills, involve a species of fish called Atlantic Menhaden, also known as bunker. Menhaden are the most abundant marine fish species on the east coast, and fish kills involving them are not uncommon, the DEEP said in a statement. Menhaden fish kills can occur for a variety of reasons, most often due to natural or environmental factors such as school-induced hypoxia (lack of oxygen) or cold water temperature.
